Song for Tam McCourt ?

[Anti-hoofbaw]

To 'Rocket Man' by Elton John.

"Tam packed his bag last night pre-game
Zero hour nine A.M.
And he's gonnae be high as a kite on Persil fumes by then

He miss his fork so much, he miss his tufing knife
It's lonely out in East Mains
On such a timeless plight

And he thinks it's gonnae be a long long time
'Til kick off brings him 'round again to find
he disnae wash his breeks that gid at home
Oh, no, no, no.
He's a Hibskit man
Hibskit man burning out his tumble dryer fuse up here alone

And he thinks it's gonnae be a long long time
'Til kick off brings him 'round again to find
he disnae wash his breeks that gid at home
Oh, no, no, no.
He's a Hibskit man
Hibskit man burning out his tumble dryer fuse up here alone

East Mains ain't the kind o place to wash your kit alone
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to wash them if he didnae

And all this Washing powder science he disnae understand
It's just his job 6 days a week
A Hibskit man, a Hibskit man

And he thinks it's gonna be a long long time
'Til kick off brings him 'round again to find
he disnae wash his breeks that gid at home
Oh, no, no, no.
He's a Hibskit man
Hibskit man burning out his tumble dryer fuse up here alone

And he thinks it's gonnae be a long long time
'Til kick off brings him 'round again to find
he disnae wash his breeks that gid at home
Oh, no, no, no.
He's a Hibskit man
Hibskit man burning out his tumble dryer fuse up here alone

And Tam thinks it's gonnae be a long long time..."

Speechless. I hope you know the magnitude of what you've created here

And I think Mr E. John not Mr D. Bowie was responsible for the song in question. But that's just pedantry.

Tam deserves a song. Guys a Hibs Ledge

Yeah, It was Elton John not Bowie. Edited correct

He was obviously thinking about "ground control to Major Tam"

I'll see your pedantry, and raise you Bernie Taupin who was responsible for the original lyrics. Without Bernie, Elton would still be stuck doing closing credits music to BBC Top Gear ...

That's absolutely magnificent 😂😂😂😂

You are rapidly becoming my favourite poster with your drug-fuelled songwriting 😂😂

To even come up with something like that is nothing short of a masterclass.

[SlickShoes]

Remember the time when someone actually made a thread about getting him out of the dugout as they thought he was one of the problems with the club.... staggering.

[Cauld Bovril]

This is why the Internet was invented. Tremendous work.

This isn't just my favourite football song, it's maybe my favourite song ever. I'll be gutted to not hear the singing section belt this out.

In all seriousness, if it actually happened it would definitely go viral if filmed. Hibs - first club to have a song for their kit man. Though Celtic would almost definitely do it a few weeks later.

They'd probably give anti-hoofbaw a contract to blog professionally on kerrydale street.

Absolutely genius

[Hibbyradge]

That's excellent.

I asked Alexa to play the original so I could enjoy your version along to it.

The pedant in me wants to amend a couple of lines to make them scan better, but I genuinely laughed out loud reading/singing it. Great work.

I wonder if Tam has seen it yet.

Maybe he'll come out appropriately dressed at the Aberdeen game 🚀

[hibsbollah]

I would have enjoyed a couple of lines about his career as a coonsil gardener at princes Street gardens, but it may not scan well. And I'm quibbling. It's already virtually perfect as it is

Think the OP may have enjoyed a couple of lines before penning this number!

Great stuff. Imagine the bemusement of the opposition fans and tv viewers if that was belted out.

Some of the best of contemporary and classic literature has been put together under the influence of Mr Chang. But remember, authors, when the fun stops, STOP
