Our Tour Anthem
Have you never seen a sunset in Barbados
Or tasted flying fish in Oistin Bay
Have you never drunk a Banks whilst lying poolside
And listened to the steel bands as they play
Have you never dined on top of Kuala Lumpur
Or seen the world’s foods set out on display
Have you never slung a gin in steamy Raffles
Or drank the night with Princes right away
Have you never seen the Opera House in Sydney
Or climbed the Harbour Bridge at break of day
Have you never felt the spirit of Don Bradman
At Bowral, where he used to play
Have you never raced a tuk-tuk in Colombo
Or seen a hundred elephants at play
Have you never seen the Buddha’s tooth at Kandy
Or walked on lotus blossoms all the way
Would you like to see the sunrise over Cape Town
Play some cricket and sip chilled Chardonnay
Would you like to go up country on safari
Or cruise across the blue Victoria Bay
The flags are flying limply over Cape Town
The morning sun has burnt the mist away
It’s just perfect for a trip up Table Mountain
And marvel at the views you will survey
Then you need our cricket tour, you really do
You need our cricket tour, you really do
Then you need our cricket tour, you really do
You need our cricket tour, you really do
