Please say it out loud at one minute to seven this evening. Hand held on heart, try not to well up too much:
Slide in your chips, your play will start talking Then sit back and watch as Tikay starts walking His face will be red, his heart will be racing He opens with kings but team Orford are Acing
And from tables around they’ll all come to see As slowly but surely team Tikay will flee Don’t show them pity, no sorrow to feel From the moment the shout “shuffle up and deal”
We believe in our leader, “The special one”, Playing to win, not just for fun, Time passes by, and in we go deep No sign of Tikay, must be asleep
His troops will be falling, his comrades all sore, His teammates in tatters, their leader no more, And just when it seems, no worse can it get, A handshake from rich – “Unlucky old Vet”
So teammates, comrades let’s all stand as one For tonight is the start of a long winning run, No fear in your hearts, no axes to grind, Just play with your hearts and hands we will find
So finally let’s pay a tribute to Dickie, Revenge for the times Tikays taken the Mickey Richard you are the ultimate player, And now claim the title of ‘Tikay Slayer’

Slide in your chips, your play will start talking
Then sit back and watch as Tikay starts walking
His face will be red, his heart will be racing
He opens with kings but team Orford are Acing
And from tables around they’ll all come to see
As slowly but surely team Tikay will flee
Don’t show them pity, no sorrow to feel
From the moment the shout “shuffle up and deal”
We believe in our leader, “The special one”,
Playing to win, not just for fun,
Time passes by, and in we go deep
No sign of Tikay, must be asleep
His troops will be falling, his comrades all sore,
His teammates in tatters, their leader no more,
And just when it seems, no worse can it get,
A handshake from rich – “Unlucky old Vet”
So teammates, comrades let’s all stand as one
For tonight is the start of a long winning run,
No fear in your hearts, no axes to grind,
Just play with your hearts and hands we will find
So finally let’s pay a tribute to Dickie,
Revenge for the times Tikays taken the Mickey
Richard you are the ultimate player,
And now claim the title of ‘Tikay Slayer’
