Iliff-King phrasebook

practise beforehand which ruins the fun song/verse fragment

Take preparation seriously. Callback to Flanders & Swann’s A song of patriotic prejudice:

And all the world over each nation’s the same
They’ve simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they’ve won
And they practise beforehand which ruins the fun
