Eternal Rookie Lyrics

Last night, doubles didn't go too well,

The five was off, the three missed like hell.

It's just the German Cup, why should I care?

Gotta get through this, guess it's only fair.

The night was long, in the bungalow,

Kicked in the door, what a way to go.

Sunday morning, head feeling like lead,

Drag myself to the table, wishing I was in bed.

I drag myself to the table, Sunday's singles day,

Trying to remember, what's the game we play?

Rookie master

Rookie blaster

The eternal rookie?

Luck forecaster

Four games lost, just two close wins,

Might be enough, maybe I'll get in.

This round's done, barely made it through,

It was close, but what else can I do?

I don't know the score, my head is a mess,

Front shots are off, back ones are less.

Somehow I scrape by, keep my hopes alive,

Gotta win again, if I wanna survive.

Rookie master

Rookie blaster

The eternal rookie?

Playing faster!

My throat is sore, my wrists are stiff,

But I'm in the final, I've had quite a tiff.

I say to you, "This is my big day!"

You laugh and ask, "Is that all you can say?"

I Open my eyes, it's the final game,

Last chance to make, or break my name.

It's a tight one, but I manage to pull through,

Got the win, it's the best I could do.

Rookie master

Rookie blaster

The eternal rookie?

endless disaster!

No medals, no trophies, no fanfare,

Just my bed, and a bit of fresh air.

But it's alright, it could've been worse,

I got the win, so who needs a hearse?

The officials decided, no more rookie play,

At the German Cup, they've thrown it away.

Now I'm the Eternal Rookie, that's my claim,

The last one to compete, the last in the game.
