I'm serious about this, let's have a group brainstorm:
The original:
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
When the day is dawning,
On a Texas Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where i hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty,
As where my baby's at
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
There's a church bell ringing
With a song of joy that its singing
For the sweet Maria
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the highway
There's an open plain and it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me
Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo and sweet Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me
And a new draft, needs a rhyme in the chorus.
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
Sha la la la la la la la (clap clap)
When the day is dawning,
On a Punt Road Sunday (Insert day of match here) Morning
How I long to be there
The Tiger Army's waiting for me there
Every lonely city
Where i hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty,
As where the MCG's at
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Tigerland?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Show me the way to Tigerland
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And victory who waits for me
There's a siren ringing
With a song of joy that its singing
For the sweet victory
And the guy who's coming to see her
Just beyond the fence line
There's an open plain and it keeps me going
Through the wind and rain
(Chorus)
Is this the way to Tigerland?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Tigerland
And sweet victory who waits for me
Show me the way to Tigerland
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Tigerland and sweet victory who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And victory who waits for me
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And victory who waits for me
