A fair dinkum ozzie football legend, Jacko was There weren't a man alive that didn't fear him on the footy ground because They'd seen him rip a poor bloke's arm off once Just snapped it off and then He beat the bastard 'round the noggin with the soggy end So when Jacko's mob played Almob in an exhibition game I was told to play on Jacko 'Cause our rockman pulled up lame And it was fear that got me airborne When I beat him in the rut And I heard their skipper whisper Jesus, Jacko can't get up
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! What the fuckin' hell's going on? 'Cause Jacko can't get up
He was playing like a shielia's blouse And I become inspired And our runner's spread the word around 'Young fuckin' Kev's on fire!' I outrucked him, I outmocked him, I outplayed him all around. I outkicked him, I outrun him, here I'll run him in the ground So when they moved him down to forward pocket To try and catch his breath Our coach said 'go get him, Killer, don't let that bastard rest.' And when I went out for a screamer, Me head collided with his guts And he went down like a bag of shit Shit, Jacko can't get up
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up I didn't feel a fucking thing But Jacko can't get out
He was lying there in agony And I thought he was toughed But he was rollin' in a pool of mud And clutching at his guts Then their runner ran out to him To find out what was wrong Then the umpire, then the doctor, Then they brought the stretcher on And the game came to a standstill And a hush fell 'cross the crowd As they loaded him in someone's Ute And drove off through the crowd. And an old sheila started crying 'I think Jacko's fucked They got him off at the hospital 'Cause Jacko can't get up'
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Fight fair, you little bastards! Jacko can't get up!
I was shouldered off a hero Inundated by the press They couldn't believe a country kid had beat Australia's best And I couldn't believe it either I felt sorry for the bloke Until I walked into his ward And the bastard grabbed me by the throat He said 'I've had diarrhea for seven days, I shouldn't have even played And when you tapped me in the guts like that Me asshole gave away And I shit meself, you little cunt, it had fuck all to do with you' And when he started tugging at my arm, my asshole give way, too.
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up The nurse said Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Just fuck off and leave him alone, 'Cause Jacko can't get up
No, Jacko can't get up And he'll never live it down 'Cause he's given football up And I'm still a hero in our town And all I've said's fair dinkum True as Jacko was his name But if you don't believe me Go ask Jacko If you're fucking game!
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up I didn't feel a fucking thing But Jacko can't get out
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! What the fuckin' hell's going on? 'Cause Jacko can't get up
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Fight fair, you little bastards! Jacko can't get up!
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up Just fuck off and leave him alone, 'Cause Jacko can't get up
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up The nurse said Oi! Jacko can't get up I dropped him like a bag of shit 'Cause Jacko can't get up
Oi! Jacko can't get up Oi! Jacko can't get up I flattened him like a battery 'Cause Jacko can't get up
