Tennis Nemesis - 林子祥

Playing the forehand

You're missing the ball

And you feel that your timing is off

And you scoff at the umpire who's calling the line

Yes he's blind

But be kind

It's not time when you're trailing behind

Bend those old knees you'll be catching the breeze as the man

At the net takes a crack at your head

Now you're down 45 and there's no time to cry

You say "Wait" They say "Why"

And here's mud in your eye

Adding insult to your third double fault

They all said that the net was too low

Your lobs are too short

And your strings are too taut

And your age is beginning to show

Don't feel defeated

You're only un-seeded

You just can't believe it

Oh ain't we conceited

So put on your Adidas and make like you're Vilas

Just having competed is all that it is

Navratilova Helena Sukova

Ivan Miloslav Yannick Noah

Chrissie and Steffi and Miss Sabatini

Becker and Borg McEnroe

Tennis is fun when you don't have to run

When the scoring is none and you don't care who won

So get off your buns and get out in the sun

We can go one on one till the morning is done
