As I went out to have a bat
just the other day,
I had no idea what was coming my way.
I played chanceless innings
and I earned every run, and
I made a hundred in the
backyard at Mum's.
Oh, I made a hundred
in the backyard at Mums
I clobbered and I crunched
every fabulous run
I toiled and I sweated,
and when the day was done
I'd made a hundred in the
backyard at Mums
I started out real shaky,
like just poking around
Me sister with her off -breaks,
well she had me pinned down
But when me little brother bowled,
I gave him the clout
And when we stopped for lunch,
I was twenty -four, not out
Well, then me uncle Nev came on,
bowling his quicks
But I was scoring freely
with deflections and flicks
As I passed my fifty,
I paused for a beer
And when I hit the roof next door,
they all began to cheer
Oh, I made a hundred
in the backyard at Mum's
I clobbered and I crunched
every fabulous run
I toiled and I sweated
and when the day was done
I'd made a hundred in
the backyard of Mum's
I took some on the body
but they didn't hurt a bit
I only hit the ball that was there to be hit
I hooked them off at me eyebrows
and I tried to keep me head
And the ton came up with
a straight drive
through the window of the shed
Oh, I made a hundred
in the backyard at Mom's
I clobbered and I crunched
every fabulous run
I toiled and I sweated,
and when the day was done
I'd made a hundred in the
backyard at Mom's
He made a hundred in the
backyard at Mom's Down, down
