MENACE A Tribute To Michael Ennis by The Basement Boys Lyrics
[Chorus]
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis
[Verse 1: Sammy}
Never met you Michael but you are my father
Never knew my dad was born in Coffs Harbour
Knights, Dragons, Broncos is where it all started
But in 2009, it was Micky Ennis' time
[Chorus]
Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Ennis
[Post-Chorus]
Ennis
[Verse 2: Sammy]
The Menace had arrived at the Canterbury Bulldogs
Dessy had him playing well like a true Bulldog
Playing champagne football, but twice they came up short
Poor old Micky Ennis he was truly distraught
Micky wasn't done but he was becoming an old fulla
Perhaps an еpiphany, up, up Cronulla!
Ennis wasn't done. Cronulla needed a 9
So Micky Ennis said "The jеrsey is mine!"
[Chorus]
Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Ennis
[Post-Chorus]
Ennis
[Verse 3: Sammy]
He donned the black headgear, to hide that short forehead
The new Michael Ennis was so far from boring
No longer just a menace, a cheeky little bastard
Now reinvented Ennis, a Rugby League Master
Crafty little dummy-half with a bunch of new moves
The Sharkies on top really finding their groove
Michael Ennis finally thought it was time to call it quits
But not before the mighty Sharks, win the premiership
[Chorus]
Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Ennis
[Post-Chorus]
Ennis
[Verse 4: Zachary]
Retirement came and he signs with FOX
At first all we see is a suit and a box
A former footy player who took a few knocks
You wouldn't really think he would know lots
Expected the Menace to find the gig tough
But what FOX found was a diamond in the rough
With Blocker and Braith we just had enough
But Micky and Vossy is really good stuff
He played with almost every single club
Surely the bloke just winds down at the pub
Poured his heart into being a massive grub
Annoying players like Hindy, before he was a chub
From bashing Nate Myles, to taking pictures with the crowd
Incredible career Mick, you should really be proud
Enjoy this tribute, sing you are allowed
Before we wrap this up, we're gonna sing it loud
[Chorus]
Michael Ennis, Michael Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
Michael Ennis, Micky Ennis
