Almanac Music: ‘Rulebook’s Everywhere’

 

 

 

 

Rulebook’s Everywhere

(To the tune of Love is in the Air by John Paul Young)

 

Rulebook’s everywhere, everywhere I look around

Rulebook’s everywhere, at the pub and at the ground

 

And I don’t know if I’m being foolish

I don’t know if being I’m wise

But again I’ve been roped in for 3 for 5

Even through there’s never a good prize

 

Rulebook’s everywhere, even at my postgame beer

I’ve seriously got no coin, I just wish he’d disappear.

 

And now that he signed up to LinkedIn

Who’s this Chinese sponsor he’s pulled in?

I’m not sure if this is right or wrong,

But we now may be sponsored by Kantong.

 

Malcolm’s everywhere, oh oh oh

Rulebook’s everywhere oh oh oh uh uh uh

 

Rulebook doesn’t care, he has no sense of his shame

Rulebook’s hardly fair, favouring Uni in the game.

 

And I don’t know if I am seeing double, coz he’s around of all the time

Yet another missed call from Rulebook, and this line is just here to rhyme

 

Rulebook’s everywhere, everywhere I look around

Rulebook’s everywhere, at the pub and at the ground

 

And the whole of the club has gone crazy,

Rulebook’s asking people to pay

But he’s someone that we all believe in,

Because he’s saving the financial day

 

Malcolm’s everywhere, oh oh oh,

Rulebook’s everywhere, oh oh oh, uh uh uh

 

(The words were written and first sung eight years ago.)
