How about this one, I know the tune but can't describe it ...

Good old Andy Farrell,
He had a magic hat,
Took a look at rugby,
and he said I fancy that,
He didn't go to Saints,
Or Bradford coz they're Sh**e,
He went to Wigan Rugby,
Coz they're fu**in' dynamite!

At a guess the tune is the old classic "My old man's a dustman", the late (most of the singers are now 'late' from that era!) Lonny Donnegan sang it if I remember correctly (no, I'm not quite old enough to remember it first time around).

I would guess at that tune also. Unfortunately I am old enough to remember it when Lonnie Donegan sang it. He was known as the "King of Skiffle". I am reminded of him when listening to Stevo, whom I call the "King of Piffle".
