1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
He’s talking to Real Madrid,
For with Stewie and Jim,
There’d be no place for him
And he’d only be sub if he did.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
Demanding a hefty wage packet.
The way our game’s played
He has said he’s afraid
That he wouldn’t be able to hack it.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
He’s now on the slippery slope,
He doesn’t need tension
While earning his pension,
Or teams with ambition and hope.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
Although he made cautious approaches,
He wasn’t committed
And later admitted
He hasn’t a clue who our coach is.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
And we have no reason to doubt him,
But our dreams are not wrecked,
For with all due respect,
We are doing quite nicely without him.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Viera’s not coming to Shelbourne,
Which couldn’t have worked out much fairer.
He’ll be left scratching,
Inertia is catching,
For Shels won’t be going to Viera.
