Cricket lovely Cricket, At Lord's where I saw it; Cricket lovely Cricket, At Lord's where I saw it; Yardley tried his best But Goddard won the test. They gave the crowd plenty fun; Second Test and West Indies won.
Chorus With those two little pals of mine, Ramadhin and Valentine.
The King was there well attired, So they started with Rae and Stollmeyer; Stolly was hitting balls around the boundary; But Wardle stopped him at twenty. Rae had confidence, So he put up a strong defence; He saw the King was waiting to see, So he gave him a century.
Chorus With those two little pals of mine, Ramadhin and Valentine.
West Indies first innings total was three-twenty-six Just as usual When Bedser bowled Christiani The whole thing collapsed quite easily; England then went on, And made one-hundred-fifty-one; West Indies then had two-twenty lead And Goddard said, "That's nice indeed."
Chorus With those two little pals of mine, Ramadhin and Valentine.
Yardley wasn't broken-hearted When the second innings started; Jenkins was like a target Getting the first five in his basket. But Gomez broke him down, While Walcott licked them around; He was not out for one-hundred and sixty-eight, Leaving Yardley to contemplate.
Chorus The bowling was superfine, Ramadhin and Valentine..
West Indies was feeling homely, Their audience had them happy. When Washbrook's century had ended, West Indies voices all blended. Hats went in the air. They jumped and shouted without fear; So at Lord's was the scenery Bound to go down in history.
Chorus After all was said and done, Second Test and the West Indies won!
