Translation HELP


I want to translate this amazing movie to some of my friends who don´t speak English but I don´t understand some of the words. I don´t have any captions to it so I don´t know where to find the exact words. Can you help me? Thanks. I would really appreciate it :)

The first thing he ever watched, was a ??? He fell in love with all the ??? It was so different...
They decided to adopt, and came across a little ??? girl.
Hamish looked like something of a ??? and had nostril hair...

I also didn´t get the middle part of the "God is better than football" song:

He isn´t ??? on Sundays
He isn´t ???
He is better than ???

Hello from Australia!

Harvey Krumpet was such an incredible movie! I can translate all the words for you which you didn't understand. Here it goes:

- He needed to be alone with his problems. He'd ponder the world beyond wishing for things to change.
**(To ponder, means to think about)

- The first thing he ever watched was a Busby Berkeley film. He fell in love with all the bosoms and smiles. It was so different to the Spotswood dump.
** Busby Berkeley was a famous choreographer. You can find him here: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000923/

- They decided to adopt, and came across a little thalidomide girl.
** Thalidomide was a drug which was withdrawn from general use because it was causing birth defects when taken during pregnancy.

- Hamish looked like something off a tin of shortbread and had nostril hair..
** Shortbread is a cookie made of flour, sugar, and butter, etc.

As for the "God is better than football" parts, the part you didn't understand goes like this:

God is better than cricket
Cause Gods there all the year
He isnt shut on Sundays (As in, he isn't closed on Sundays)
He isnt stopped by rain
He's better than a Captain Coach
You can talk to him again and again and again

I hope I could help! I hope your friends enjoy it as much as we did! :)
