1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 At Selhurst Park they sent Dom off,
Though it was ne’er a foul.
They’re threat’ning yet more points to dock,
They kick us when we’re down.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 But we are made of steely stuff,
We’ve got hairs on our chest.
We live up to our motto proud –
“Nil Satis But The Best!”

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 The Replay was at Goodison,
From far and wide they came.
The match weren’t on our TV screens,
So many missed the game.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Sean Dyche put out a full-strength side,
Though some said “Play the Kids!”
A gem free-kick from Gomes
Put Palace on the skids.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The match was drab by all accounts,
Although that hardly matters.
We’ve made it through to the Fourth Round,
So now Bring on the Hatters!

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 I feel it in my waters.
I feel it in my bones.
That Luton too we shall dispatch,
Move further down that road.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 The one that leads to Wembley,
Where we have won before.
Or so I’m told, long, long ago,
In the bygone days of yore.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 ‘Most nine and twenty years have passed
Since we won Silverware.
Though hard we’re tasked, and storm winds blast,
This just might be our year.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 19/1/24
