Betfairian Rhapsody

[icebreaker]

This is doing the rounds, but for anyone who hasn't seen it:




BETFAIRIAN RHAPSODY (with apologies to Queen)


is this the real life?
is this just fantasy?
stuck on this website
no way back to reality
open your eyes look up to the screen and see
i'm just a punter,i need no sympathy
because i'm easy come ,easy go
back them high,lay them low
anyway the naps go doesn't really matter to me,to me

mama,just layed a nag
now it's twenty lengths ahead
hope it falls or drops down dead
mama,the race has just begun
but now my funds are all but blown away
mama,ooo
i think i'm gonna cry
if this horse wins i won't be here tomorrow
can't carry on,carry on as if nothing really matters

too late the horse has won
sends shivers down my spine
god i need a glass of wine
goodbye everybody - i've got to go
got to leave you all behind and bet at Hills
mama,ooo - (anyway the naps go)
i don't want to die
i sometimes wish i'd never opened this account

i see a little arb on the next race
back it high,lay it low,will it end up in Tesco
now it's price is shortening - very very frightening me
now it's winning,now it's second
now it's winning,now it's second
it's got beaten half a length - magnifico

i'm just a punter,my bookie loves me
i help run his car and feed his family
easy come easy go - i don't have to go
to Ladbrokes - no now i don't have to go
to Corals - no now i don't have to go
to Jack Browns - never,never,never,never
now i don't have to go - no,no,no,no,no,no,no,
oh mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go
'cos Bloaticus has a placepot put aside for me
for me
for me

so you think you can ban me for dissing the idiots on Sky
so you think you can love me and leave me to die
oh Betfair,don't do this to me Betfair
i don't want to get out - i just want to stay right here

ooh yeah.ooh yeah
punting really matters
anyone can see
punting really matters - Betfair really matters to me

anyway the naps go.......

As a Queen fan that has to be one of the best spoofs of BH I've seen yet!
