A New Team in Town (apologies to The Eagles)

Blah blah at Alberton; it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, but the fans they aint watching you
They vote with their feet, gone to watch you know who
Even your old friends have gone off to the zoo

Johnny come latelys, the new team in town
Everybody loved you, but the’ve gone to ground

A final at AAMI; the game begins to play
Hopeless in September, here we go again
After a while, you’re looking back to a happier day
It’s those Magpie farts that never mend

Johnny come latelys, the new team in town
Will they still pay you when you share their ground
There’s so many things you shouldn’t have sold them
But fight after fight you’re willing to claim em
Just claim them The AFL’s just tamed them

Payouts at the ground, it’s there to remind you
Doesn’t really matter which side they’re on
You’re walking away and their laughing behind you
They will never forget you unless you can win a Vic flag

Where you been lately? There’s a new team in town
Everybody loves them, no tradition down
But we’ve won the flags, while the Power still sags
Oh my my

There’s a new team in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody’s talking bout the new team in town
Ooh, hoo
Everybody’s laughing at the new team in town
There’s a new team in town
There’s a new team in town
I don’t want to see em
There’s a new team in town
Magpies in a museum
There’s a new team in town
There’s a new team in town
There’s a new team in town

Regards,
