1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I searched my soul for the opening goal
for the strength and courage of the brave
I took my aim and the power was right
and the goalie pulled off a great save

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Corner!

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I took no offence and pulled up my socks
a terrier or a fox in the box
and I scampered for the cross

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 and when the cross came
poised balanced and set
I hit the ball on the full
toss

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The goalie never moved!

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 The feeling, the roars, the heroes applause
for the name of the game is your team
and when your team scores, and you score that goal
well its great…you know what I mean

The game was heading for a nil-nil and it needed something special
