Verse 1
It's one for the country
One for the city
It's time for summer, sunshine and innings
When all the kids on the coast playing beach cricket
And every street has wheelie bin wickets
So step to the crease, let your team get balled
Leave them told
Heart bleed green and gold
Classic catches, bagging tons and from now to the pull up stumps

Chorus
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket no no
I love it
Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
Cause you ain't heard me out yet

Chorus 2
And life feels cinematic right now
One day international matches right now
Great times, big crowds and high scores
Balling 50 overs with a white ball
Toast to the past times of a nation
That's some with daylight savings
As we run down the batting order, bounce back
Send them on their way with a how's that?
Chorus X2
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket no no
I love it
Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
Cause you ain't heard me out yet

Bridge
Don't you walk through their words
Got to show some respect
Don't you walk through their words
Cause you ain't heard me out
Yeah X5

Chorus 3
Coast to coast, and top end to bass straight
And below and all between
There ain't no surprises so many feel like there's only one game when the mercury rises
Born and raised learning tools of the trade
Grew up on idolizing the greats of the game
Whole country backing good times to come again
Simple, nothing more to explain
Chorus X4
I say
I don't like cricket oh no
I love it
I don't like cricket no no
I love it
Don't you walk through my words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk through my words
Cause you ain't heard me out yet
