IPL For You

Theme song for a sitcom turns out to be relevant to a certain cricket league

A talentless cricketer fails at the highest level. A senior team-mate advises him that the best place for people like him is a certain league in India. (To be sung to the tune of The Rembrandts' "I'll Be There For You".)

So no one told you life was gonna be this way.
Your average's a joke, your strike rate's DoA
It's like you're always stuck in Powerplay
When it hasn't been your day, you're weak, but never ever fear, 'cause…

IPL for you
DLFs start to soar
IPL for you
Citi Moments for every four
IPL for you
A million just for you

You're partying at 2, though nets begin at 8
You've got smashed and laid, hey, things are going great
Your manager told you there'd be deals like these
What he didn't tell you was how much he charges in fees

IPL for you
Never played such crowds before
IPL for you
Can't have that dot-ball bore
IPL for you
Yeah, yeah, I want more

No one can ever stop me. No one can ever drop me
Seems I'm the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to partnership with. Make it through Powerplay with
Someone I'll always run with. Even at my worst, I'm still an icon player…

IPL for you
Come on, now go and score
IPL for you
Like you've been there before
IPL for you
The rest of us are on tour
