Desmond Lynam's Sports Trivia Lyrics - Chumbawamba

From the heights of montezuma to the shores of sicily 

From the rainplains of africa 

Across the shining sea 

From the east to the west 

From the rainforests to the dustbowls 

It's bigger than jesus 

Bigger than rock & roll 

What is it? 

Sport! 

You can love it or loathe it 

But you can't get away from it 

It's played, watched, and talked about all over the world 

From the backstreets of naples 

To the docklands of hull 

It's bigger than jesus 

Bigger than rock & roll 

What is it? 

Sport! 

Livingstone and stanley were sitting in a hut 

In the african jungle, talking and stuff 

About how they'd discovered this big continent 

How they'd dared to go where no-one else went 

When out of the bush came this skinny little kid 

And what was he wearing? a liverpool strip! 

He had an nfl helmet and some brand new cricket boots 

A packet of questions from trivial pursuit 

Q: what happened when rugby union minnows shirley wanderers went to twickenham? 

A: they stole a set of goal posts after an international!
