100. Barry John Lyrics

Chumbawamba 100. Barry John

Barry John was the king of Rugby Union
He was fast and agile and extremely good-looking
All you'd see would be a flash of red
Wales were best, 'cause he used his head
And knew exactly when to stop
And he retired when he was on top
Barry is my cousin, twice removed
And that's not easy to disprove
I talk about it when I go out
When people don't listen, then I start to shout
"Barry John is related to me!
Look!
Barry John is related to me!
Alright!
Not by blood, but still related to me!
Listen!
This is very important to me!"
Woah! Woah...
My friends don't mind if this is true
Because they are all Barry's cousins too
