1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The smiles tell all
Top of the league
No one can catch you now
Premiership is won

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The smiles tell all
Four games to go
Safety is secure
No need to worry

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The tears tell all
Four games to go
Relegation is certain
“For Sale” notices on the gates

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The smiles tell all
Four games to go
Promotion is secure
The Premiership beckons

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Premier to First
First to Second
Second to Third
Third to Conference

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Up and down the country
Tears and smiles
In equal measure
Preface the inter-seasonal cull

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Year after year
The cycle renews itself
The fans faithfully returning
“This year is our year”.
