Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick, kick??cross the grass1
Kick, kick, kick, kick?and pass!
I?ve got it! ? Kick! Go! Cross the grass!
Look OUT! Oh NO, a quick attack!
I?d better hurry (hurry!), hurry (hurry!)
Pass it, pass it, pass it, paaaaass it?BACK!
Fake right! Good!
Kick?great!
Kick, kick, kick, kick??cross the grass1
Kick, kick, kick, kick?and pass!
[Then, indicated by overlapping drums, there is a fight for the ball, and the other team takes possession.
A player from that other team then drives the ball back down the field, using the same musical structure: ]
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick!
Kick, kick, kick, kick??cross the grass1
Kick, kick, kick, kick?and pass!
I?ve got it! ? Kick! Go! Cross the grass!
Look OUT! Oh NO, a quick attack!
I?d better hurry (hurry!), hurry (hurry!)
Pass it, pass it, pass it, paaaaass it?BACK!
Fake left!! Good!
