The cricket fever has set in; the stakes are pretty high,
All the teams are well prepared – they’ve come to do or die.
The games are followed all over – in villages and towns,
We watch the fortunes of our team – with all its ups and downs.
We have time for little else; to the TV we are glued,
At times we are in high spirits, at times in sombre mood.
Every match is keenly watched – by fans with bated breath,
To us it’s nothing less than – a matter of life and death.
Every game is closely viewed, with passions on the boil,
As fans of each cricket team – watch their team toil.
Amidst all the excitement, the bustle and the din,
Let’s enjoy all the cricket – may the best team win.
We wish the Indian team – may it win the Cup,
May we raise a toast to them – and say “Bottoms Up”.
We are the best team, the world’s best side,
In our team we do take, a lot of joy and pride.
This ain’t the only thing – about which we can boast,
Let’s show the world that we also are – the world’s best host.
The fans have come from far off lands – from many a far off place,
Let’s make them feel at home, with lots of love and grace.
