O' Possum

O' possum O' possum Sleep the day away Await the setting of the sun before you go and play As the dusk arrives at last Awake and stretch your paws Don't clamber from your tree too fast Hang tightly with your claws The brown team 'v' the greys Its football night you see they'll use a melon for a ball with a ring tailed referee The match is quite a tussle both teams are very strong The crowd sit up in the trees And Hisses them along A possum breaks loose from the pack Towards the goal he's bound The goalie take a single look Then plays dead upon the ground The melon bounces of the post A dustbin crashes to the ground The crowd invades with fever pitch To look in and see what's found
