Junior B All Star

G Oh the Junior B all-star don’t you forget Em Middle of May, haven’t started training yet C No hats, flags or headbands no painted cars D We just turn up go out and pull hard G Our goalkeeper he’s thirty-two Em Came straight from mass, plays wearin’ his shoes C The fullback line not the best on earth D Wait’ll they finish their Junior Cert G So drop your can, mark your man Em Get off that girl and grab your hurl C We’re roundin’ up lads, Numbers are slack D Even John Fenton is making a comeback C Cometh the man, cometh the hour D When he puts on that jersey he’s got superpowers G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C D That’s the sport of kings to me G D Henry Shefflin, Eoin Kelly C D You wouldn’t last at Junior B Em D For cones and drills we do not care C D Give me high balls into the square G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C He could be from Cork, Ballyduff or Mullingar D He’s a Junior B all-star G Our centre-forward, a club stalwart Em Breaks up the play cause he’s so awkward C Doubles on the ball doesn’t try to catch it D He hit six wides, got man of the match G Ah the legends of Junior B Em We’ve had the same full-forward since the 70s C Straps up the knee heading into battle D He invented the third-man tackle G Swingin’ the elbows giving out shiners Em This is no place for County Minors C Sticks up the hand, like God almighty D Hasn’t scored since Italia 90 C Smells of cider, loves to pull hard D Always gets away with a yellow card G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C D That’s the sport of kings to me G D Henry Shefflin, Eoin Kelly C D You wouldn’t last at Junior B Em D For cones and drills we do not care C D Give me high balls into the square G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C He could be from Bray, Ballyhea or Castlebar D He’s a Junior B all-star Mid-Section Em D Em If you’re twenty-four stone From pints and breakfast rolls D We’ve a place for you, if you can score goals Em If you can’t lift or strike But like a few pints D I’ll put you on the text list for Wednesday night Em Out every weekend, drink until you’re cabbaged D That’s not a beer belly that’s the size to do some damage Em Underage legends so the story goes G Taught Lar Corbett every trick that he knows G But soon he knows, he’ll have to retire G D The knee are gone and the legs are tired C On the sideline he’ll have to be content D He can always get into management G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C D That’s the sport of kings to me G D Henry Shefflin, Eoin Kelly C D You wouldn’t last at Junior B Em D For cones and drills we do not care C D Give me high balls into the square G D J-U-N-I-O-R-B C He could be from Cork, Ballyduff or Mullingar D He’s a Junior B all-star G Em C D 2x C D We lost the County Final we’d been out on the beer G Lads there’ll always be next year
