the Banners Road To Croker (original)

this is a small song i wrote for clare in the 2013 all ireland this year i tried to make it funny and catchy and hopefully it'll get everyone in clare up for the game, An Clár Abú
Lyrics:
We're on the road to croker just like 95, from killaloe to doolin the county's come alive, we started off in thurles where the deise they were bet, then there came th rebels, we couldn't hit the net
But now we're on the road to croker liam mccarthys getting closer, pat donellans sweeping balls while davy's making calls they say the banner boys are back with buglar in defense and tony kelly in attack, we'll have podge collins for an all star colin ryan is on the free's, we're on the road to croker boys and davy's got the keys
Back at home laois were easy, wexford gave us a scare they took us into extra time and davy he went spare, then on came cathal mac and he put the game to bed, and cian dillion got inside of joe cannings head, galway they were out the door we took em by surprise, no tipp or killkenny left its just like 95
and now we're on the road to croker liam mccarthys getting closer, pat donellans sweeping balls while davy's making calls they say the banner boys are back with buglar in defense and tony kelly in attack, we'll have podge collins for an all star colin ryan is on the free's, we're on the road to croker boys and davy's got the keys
then there came the limerick men in the thousands they were there, shur we dont need no hawkeye cus we've colin ryan in clare, in 95 and 97 brian lohan was full back, now we have a new young lad and his name is david mac, from sixmilebridge to ballyea theyre hoping on the train, daly did it before can donnellan do the same
because we're on the road to croker liam mccarthys getting closer, pat donellans sweeping balls while davy's making calls they say the banner boys are back with buglar in defense and tony kelly in attack, we'll have podge collins for an all star colin ryan is on the free's, we're on the road to croker boys and davy's got the keys davy's got the keys, davy's got the keys
We'll pack our bags and grab our gear head straight for hill 16, the banner roar from clare to here al shouting for our team, no bad decisions or hawkeye blunders will make our team look shady, and when we win roy keane will say, haha all credit toooo davy,
Cus now we're on the road to croker liam mccarthys getting closer, pat donellans sweeping balls while davy's making calls they say the banner boys are back with buglar in defense and tony kelly in attack, we'll have podge collins for an all star colin ryan is on the free's, we're on the road to croker boys and davy's got the keys, we're on the road to croker on the road to croker, ya we're on the road to croker on the road to vroker, we'll have podge collins for an all star, colin ryan is on the free's, we're on the road to croker boys and davy's got the keys... WOOOOOOO !!!
