SOAP OPERA DRAMA
To the tune of Copacabana ( Barry Manilow )
Her name was Jana, she was a hurdler
With yellow and green gear and fancy Nike shoes down there
She would whinge and do a wha-wha
And while she tried to be a star, the aussie media said ta
Across a running track, she worked from eight til four
She was young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?
What a joker, soap opera drama
The hottest news north of jacana
What a joker, soap opera drama
Bruises and karma, it has to be Jana
What a joker .... you're on the front page again, love.
His name was Rico, he was her trainer
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Jana runnin' there
And when she finished, he called her over
But Jana went A over T, and the poor girl bunged her knee
And then the teardrops flew and she might need an op or two
There was blood and her olympics were shot
But would there be a comeback too?
What a joker, soap opera drama
The hottest news north of jacana
What a joker, soap opera drama
Bruises and karma, it has to be Jana
What a joker .... you're on the front page again, love.
Oh what drama, for our Jana
The race is about to go, will she still be in for a show
Now it's the eighth hurdle, a stumble for Jana
Still in the lycra that she wears, a fading chance is all that's there
A sook at her time, as the Greek girl crosses the line
She lost the race and she missed a medal
The other racers must be on drugs half-blind?
What a joker, soap opera drama
The biggest sook since Polly Farmer
What a joker, soap opera drama
Bruises and karma, it has to be Jana
What a joker .... you're on the front page again, love.
you're on the front page again, love.
