lyrics

Hark to the shouting, Stiffy is the man they're cheering,
Stiffy is the best goalkeeper that ever let a ball go through.
They said this morning that by a hundred goals they'd beat me,
But they didn't know the man they had to deal with, 'cos we only lost by forty-two.

I guarded my goal quite collected and cool, kept hopping about like a little mad bull,
They didn't give me time for to draw my breath; it's a wonder that I wasn't trampled to death,

But when Stiffy's between the sticks, when Stiffy's between the sticks,
He can stop any kind of ball - a football, or a brandy-ball,
And Vivian Woodward says, when I start my monkey-tricks,
'What's the good of me trying to score, when Stiffy's between the sticks?'
