St Kilda’s Weeping Song (apologies to Nick Cave)
Go Bluebaggers, go down to Ethiad And see ugly women weeping there Then go across to the MCG The fat men, they are weeping too
Father, why are all their supporters weeping? They are weeping for their players Then why are all the players there weeping? They are weeping back at them
This is St Kilda’s weeping song A song in which they weep While all the Bluebaggers celebrate This is a weeping song And they’ll be weeping long
Father, why are all their children weeping? O, they are merely crying son O, are they merely crying, father? Yes, St Kilda’s weeping is yet to come
This is St Kilda’s weeping song A song in which to weep While all the Bluebaggers sleep This is a weeping song And they’ll be weeping long.
O father tell me, are you laughing? Your face seems wet to touch O then I'm so happy, father This must hurt St Kilda so much
This is St Kilda’s weeping song A song in which they weep While we laugh ourselves to sleep This is their weeping song And they will be weeping long And they will be weeping long And they will be weeping long And they will be weeping long
