Cricket Lovely Reggae (Cricket Star)

It's a pretty pretty island
But there's no work for our boy
That's a pity pity I planned
To stay here just for joy

But if you want to go far
You've got to be a reggae reggae reggae
Or a cricket star

A cricket star
Cricket star
Cricket star
Cricket star
Cricket star

Got me balls and me stump and me cap
And I got me big cricket bat
A cricket star is something to be
Dressed in white and lovely to see
Cricket star

I'm going to bowl a googly eye
Dressed in white and lovely to see

[Sample]
Like the figure of the Jamaican newcomer starts his run up with both the English batsman very much up against it

Hows that? [clapping]

It's a pretty pretty island
But there's no work for a boy
That's a pity pity I planned
To stay here just for joy
