Long lines pour out the station With flags and banners they wind their way between Parked cars in loose formation To the only place that I really ever want to be Long strides, the wide-eyed child in me Darts eagerly, draped in white and blue, Light towers, high like heaven Over where we’re heading, it’s all I ever want to do And we’re late, and we’re cheap So we’ll fight for a seat With a terrible view It’s all I ever want to do Bright kids in bright fluorescents Sell Football Records to old folks passing through Who mark the score all season for no good reason It’s all they ever want to do These days things are changing And women are playing, and fathers tell that to Young girls with painted faces Who could take their places if it’s what they ever want to do And we’ll stay out here With our mid-strength beer ‘Cause I’m not in a suit And it’s all I ever want to do

Richo 01:55
Richo! Richo! Richo! Richo! La la la lah Who’s that coming onto the wing? (Richo) You know you gotta kick it to him (Richo) If not you’re gonna cop a spray (Richo) And he’ll probably get it anyway (La la la lah) Who’s that one out in the square (Richo) Big hands and beautiful hair (Richo) You gotta drop it on his head (Richo) He’s sitting at the Punt Road end Richo! Richo! Richo! Richo! La la la lah Who’s that talking on TV (Richo) With Lingy and BT (Richo) He’s charismatic as can be (Richo) None of this “Oh boy! Wowee!” (La la la lah) Who’s that coming crashing the pack (Richo) He’s one out, just give him a crack (Richo) Oh how’s that hands in the back? (Richo) He’s a tiger, yellow and black! Rain hail or shine, he’ll be there with a smile on his face and a glove on his left hand. You’re more than just a footballer Richo, you’re more than a commentator, you’re somewhat of a father-figure to me. A nice warm pat on the back from you would sort me for life I reckon. Good onya mate, you should’ve won that brownlow, you were robbed. Richo! Richo! Richo! Richo! La la la lah
