Great! lyrics: Little plastic whistle blows Someone broke the rules You’ve got to teach them young where the lines are drawn If they’re gonna be taught at all Standing on the boundary line Waiting for a bounce of a ball Hoping for a chance to kick it back in If it gets knocked out on the full The best footy player in all of Grade 3 Was a little blonde kid named Marie She finally gets a shot Everyone’s impressed She kicks it pretty far She kicks it in a dress CHORUS: Everybody loses When we all don’t get to play Some run around on the oval But they don’t let the girls in the game They don’t let the girls in the game The full forward’s full of praise He says, ‘you kick well for a girl’ And he says, ‘if you like, You can watch at the side And help us keeping score’ Then the teacher on yard duty comes Sends Marie back to the girls He says, ‘The boys on the oval play too rough If you hang around here you’ll get hurt’ So, she climbs to the top of the monkey bars And she watches the game from the slide While the girls on the asphalt play with their swap cards Marie dreams of freedoms away from the tan bark CHORUS Down around the cypress tree Playing Doctor Who A little fat boy wants a time machine To take him to when lunch is through Breaking in through the branches Flying in through space Someone kicks the Sherrin And it crash-lands in his face They say, ‘kick it back here, Loser’ But the Loser’s afraid of the ball So, they call him all the worst of the names they could call And everybody laughs when they say he’s a girl Because they don’t let the girls in the game Some of us were left on slides Some were left in trees Some of us were girly-boys Some were girls just like Marie When will we not be losers When will we get to play When will we all grow up from Grade Three When they don’t let the girls in the game? They don’t let the girls in the game They don’t let the girls in the, They don’t let the girls in the game They don’t let the girls in the, They don’t let the girls in the game They don’t let the girls in the, They don’t let the girls in the game.

Great! lyrics:
Little plastic whistle blows
Someone broke the rules
You’ve got to teach them young where the lines are drawn
If they’re gonna be taught at all
Standing on the boundary line
Waiting for a bounce of a ball
Hoping for a chance to kick it back in
If it gets knocked out on the full
The best footy player in all of Grade 3
Was a little blonde kid named Marie
She finally gets a shot
Everyone’s impressed
She kicks it pretty far
She kicks it in a dress
CHORUS: Everybody loses
When we all don’t get to play
Some run around on the oval
But they don’t let the girls in the game
They don’t let the girls in the game
The full forward’s full of praise
He says, ‘you kick well for a girl’
And he says, ‘if you like,
You can watch at the side
And help us keeping score’
Then the teacher on yard duty comes
Sends Marie back to the girls
He says, ‘The boys on the oval play too rough
If you hang around here you’ll get hurt’
So, she climbs to the top of the monkey bars
And she watches the game from the slide
While the girls on the asphalt play with their swap cards
Marie dreams of freedoms away from the tan bark
CHORUS
Down around the cypress tree
Playing Doctor Who
A little fat boy wants a time machine
To take him to when lunch is through
Breaking in through the branches
Flying in through space
Someone kicks the Sherrin
And it crash-lands in his face
They say, ‘kick it back here, Loser’
But the Loser’s afraid of the ball
So, they call him all the worst of the names they could call
And everybody laughs when they say he’s a girl
Because they don’t let the girls in the game
Some of us were left on slides
Some were left in trees
Some of us were girly-boys
Some were girls just like Marie
When will we not be losers
When will we get to play
When will we all grow up from Grade Three
When they don’t let the girls in the game?
They don’t let the girls in the game
They don’t let the girls in the,
They don’t let the girls in the game
They don’t let the girls in the,
They don’t let the girls in the game
They don’t let the girls in the,
They don’t let the girls in the game.
Is in this..
