1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 My day began on Tuesday when I got out of bed
With lots of might be images going through my head
The thought of commentating and thinking of what to say
Were giving me the jitters for the first part of the day.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 As I made my way to Ringway for the British Midland flight
I was still a bit uncertain as to whats in store that night
I`d lots of things to read about and hoped that time would pass
While waiting in a private lounge amongst the upper class.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I supped a load of whiskey before I got the flight
I even supped a load of ale and somehow did`nt feel right
And no sooner after take off they came with more drink
By now my head was cabbaged and couldn`t really think.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 so now my plane had landed at London`s big Heathrow
I had a shock when saw the clock not long to go
The shows producer picked me up to take me to the sky
To commentate for ninety mins I`m going to have a try.

Notes

This again was written about my adventures down at the sky sports studios London where I was invited to commentate on the Watford V Bolton game for Fanzone on interactive TV little did they know at the time I was plastered but came through unscathed. I have done the Fanzone three times this season and I thank sky sports for giving me such an opportunity.
