Ta mate. Like you said, Hewie is a decent sort of bloke, and he was a useful enough footballer for the ABs despite some shortcomings in his game and a few detractors in NZ.
He actually famously won the last test series for the Blacks against the Boks before their isolation (when anti-apartheid protesters flour-bombed the field during the game) via a penalty goal in the final minute or thereabouts.
The thing about The Lumberjack Song is it starts out almost heroically and then steadily unwinds. So when customising it's good for a "bantering" type of sledge without being downright nasty... Just for the exercise, I'll see if I can add a couple of verses to mirror this for Hewie...
>>Meh. Cut and paste job over the original lyrics.

The Allan Hewson Song
(to the tune of Monty Python's "The Lumberjack Song")
HEWIE:
I'm an All Black and I'm not gay.
I played fullback and I did okay.
CHOIR:
Hewie's an All Black and he's not gay.
He played fullback and he did okay.
HEWIE:
I let in tries, but kicked field goals.
I scored my points in threes.
Against the all-white Springboks,
I nailed the winning penalty.
CHOIR:
He let in tries but kicked field goals,
He scored his points in threes.
Against the all-white Springboks,
He nailed the winning penalty!
Hewie's an All Black and he's not gay.
He played fullback and he did okay.
HEWIE:
I played through apartheid protests,
In the flour bombing line.
In the Summer I played cricket,
But I averaged only nine.
CHOIR:
He played through apartheid protests,
In the flour bombing line.
Over Summer he played cricket,
but he averaged only nine.
Hewie's an All Black and he's not gay.
He played fullback and he did okay.
HEWIE:
I liked to wear tight pantyhose,
And you know what that means.
I wished I'd been more manly,
Just like young Robbie Deans!
CHOIR:
He liked to wear tight pantyhose,
And you know what that means.
He wished he'd been more manly,
Just like young Robbie Deans!
Hewie's an All Black and he's not gay.
He played fullback and he did okay.
Hewie's an All Black and he's not gaaay.
He played fullback and he did okay!
