Old Joe Sad To Say 'sept 97'

Glenferrie on the sunday after Grand Final day The Premiership cup has gone to Adelaide said old Joe sad to say St Kilda gave it their best shot but they ran out of steam And Adelaide had their measure they looked the better team. Last night I drowned my sorrows in the Glenferrie hotel And we talked about St Kilda football club and I remember well When St Kilda won the Premiership thirty one years ago And I was in my early thirties then the years have made me slow. We take it far too seriously it's just a game after all And the Grand Final is over enough about football And the Premiership cup in Adelaide for the next twelve months will stay But a Victorian team will win it back said old Joe 'sad to say'. I'm a dependant on welfare since they locked the factory door And I have never known times to be tough as this before For Government mismanagement there is a price to pay And I may never work again said old Joe sad to say. Glenferrie on a sunday on a bright evening in spring And on sunlit tree by old town hall the asian myna sing And the Premiership cup in Adelaide their fans shout hip hooray And things might well be better said old Joe sad to say.
