Hark to the shouting, Stiffy is the lad they're cheering Stiffy is the best goalkeeper that ever let a ball through They said this morning by over a hundred goals they beat us But they never knew the man they had to deal with 'Cause we only lost by sixty-two I guarded my goal quite contented and cool Kept dashing about like a little mad bull I scarcely had time to draw my breath It's a wonder I wasn't trampled to death. Chorus: But when Stiffy's between the sticks When Stiffy's between the sticks He can stop any kind of ball A football or a brandy-ball And all the forwards say When I'm up to my monkey tricks 'What's the use of me trying to score When Stiffy's between the sticks.'
