(Sounds best if sung to Everley Brothers - Take a Message to Mary)
These are the silent words of the team
That may have lost the game
But to win again and stake claim to fame
Is still their cherished dream:
Take a message to my home town,
Say sorry that we let them down,
Take a message to my class-mates
We haven’t yet hung our skates.
You can tell home that we love Turin,
Tell them that we lost some steam,
We can say we’re sorry, we’re to blame,
But won’t give up the spirit of the team.
Send an e-mail to my girlfriend,
But don't tell her the goal I missed,
Please don't mention the two-nil game,
To be the best I will still persist.
Tell them that we are sorry, we lost our strong hold,
But we haven’t yet given up searching for gold;
We regret we put on a dismal show
But still have hope for a great tomorrow.
