Leather On Willow, Etc. Lyrics - Chumbawamba

At farnley park cricket ground there's a sycamore tree 

And it stands thirty feet inside the boundary 

I think that someone slapped a preservation order on the tree 

So it's good the players don't take the game too seriously 

Now there are no advertising boards to get in the way 

And no computer scoreboard, hip, hip, hooray 

Just an old bloke and a stubby pencil end 

Who misses a run or two now and again 

You see he's too busy looking at the sycamore tree 

He says, "it's all part of the game" 

And I agree
