http://oldfathertime.blogspot.com/ The Barmy Army in full voice on Day 5 at the SCG. We Take the Urn Home as victory looms for England,

We came over from old Blighty
The Barmy Army and me
Around Sydney town we did roam
6 quid for a pint
A grand for a flight
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

Ricky Ponting's a broken man
Without Warne he has no plan
He tries to carry the team all on his own
He's losing his hair
But we don't care
With Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

Graeme Swann is a caring guy
Rescues cats in his spare time
Now he's gonna tear the Aussies apart
Tear them apart
Swann, Swann will tear you apart again
Swann, Swann will tear you apart again
They can't read his spin
And so England will win
With Strauss our captain will take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

Brad Haddin's a simple man
He appeals whenever he can
He even appeals a catch down the leg side (even a wide)
He's crap at his job
We think he's a nob
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

So hoist up the John B sail
See how the mainsail sails
Call for the captain ashore
Take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
We'll take the urn home
With Strauss our captain we'll take the urn home

  • Fucking immense, makes you so proud to be English watching that, my lifetime ambition is to go out on tour with these guys to somewhere like South Africa or Australia!

  • I am a Pom, living in Oz. Sadly I sometimes feel that Aussies don't actually like sport! They like winning. It was obvious to me at the MCG and SCG when in the dying hours they had all left. The Barmy Army and indeed all England cricket fans turn up and stay put and have been doing it for years when we rarely won... I suppose we will have to enjoy it whilst it lasts, but I will be there, watching the team, win or lose all the same...

see all

  • absolutely brilliant, i have to go on tour somewhere before i die, after watching these videos it's now my lifetime ambition

  • Absolutely immense supporters. Your welcome back to SA anytime !!! You deserve some success for a while after years of supporting that drivel.

  • once i said wait till u tour india ... but now i realize we are good for nothing ... yep england r the best in the world now

  • I think the Barmy Army can claim a lot of responsibility for bringing English cricket back to the strength they are now. With support like these guys, it cant help to make you feel good about playing for your country.

    And I am an Aussie.

  • Funny how the Welsh nicked this for the World Cup, but they didn't take the cup home though :D

  • awesome and lovely display of fun, support and patriotism. Sorry but come 2012 and u guys buckle up to get your ass kicked in UAE.

  • @Portobe92

  • thanks, makes me so proud to be English

  • Are there any other fans in the world who could come up with a song like this??! pure genius!!
