Mambo Number 13

The 2013 rugby league World Cup starts next weekend. In its honour, I've re-worked the lyrics to Lou Bega's "Mambo Number 5" for your delectation.

The original is here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unlc89KvLt4) for those of you who can't remember it.

Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you "Mambo Number 13..."

"One, two, three, four, five

Everybody in your cars, come on let's drive

To stadiums across the country

For the biggest stars of rugby league

You'll ever see

Show their skills, every week

Cause in this game, well talk is cheap

There's Australia, England, Wales and New Zealand

And so it continues with Scotland, France and Ireland

So who is going to lift to the trophy at Old Trafford?

We all hope it's going to be England

It's rugby league, it's our favourite game

With all these stars, remember their names

A little bit of Charnley on the right

A little bit of Ryan Hall in full flight

A little bit of Tomkins out the back

A bit of Sinfield keeping it on track

A little bit of Roby around the ruck

The bounce of the ball and a little luck

A ground full of fans making some noise

Let's all get behind the England boys.

Mambo Number 13!"
