「歌曲」flanders、Swann - Tried by the Centre Court

I'm a very ordinary tennis player,
I'm not a champion, I'm not a star,
But I've played on the Centre Court at Wimbledon,
And I got as far as the quarter finals.

I was drawn against the champion,
And I knew I hadn't a chance,
But I thought I'd give him a game or two,
And I did, I did, I did.

I served to his forehand, I served to his backhand,
I lobbed, I volleyed, I smashed,
But he returned every shot with interest,
And I was soon two sets to love down.

In the third set I made a great effort,
I broke his service, I held my own,
And I led five games to four,
And I was serving for the set.

I served to his forehand, I served to his backhand,
I lobbed, I volleyed, I smashed,
But he returned every shot with interest,
And I lost the set, six-five.

In the fourth set I was exhausted,
I could hardly lift my racket,
And he beat me six-love, six-love, six-love,
And I was out of the tournament.

But I'm a very ordinary tennis player,
I'm not a champion, I'm not a star,
But I've played on the Centre Court at Wimbledon,
And I got as far as the quarter finals.
