1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 A force to reckon with
They are the invincibles
No this is not a myth
League champions
On 13 occasions
They took on football
& it was like a big invasion
They won the league
For the 1st time in 1931
It was then that Arsenal had shun.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 They were known back in the day
As Red Dial
But this name was only for a while
Eventually the name came about
A glorious name of Arsenal
This is what we know them as today

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 We’ve had them all.
Bergkamp, Wright, Viera, Seaman, Henry.
All legends produced at Highbury
The best players – no one can disagree
We won the double in 1971 with Bertie Mee
Beating Liverpool at the FA cup
They had been outdone
We did it again under the control of Monsieur Wenger
Where we were the hardest team to conquer

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 We’ve come out on top
Time and time again
Causing pain
Especially down White Hart Lane
They haven’t beat us at Highbury since 1993
We’re just too good and I’m sure even they agree.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 They play like predators
Waiting for their prey
With legends like Adams & Henry
And young guns like Van Persie & Clichy
They put the opposition in dismay
We’ve got Arsene
So who needs José?

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 We’ve been through a whole season unbeaten
49 games we went
It was our 50th match
And everyone knew how much it meant
October 24th 2004
Was a day to remember as we faced war
When we took on our rivals
2-0 to the mancs
Was the final score

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 2005 was a season to remember
As we lost our title of
The ‘Unbeaten Champions’
And the premiership too.
For the match
That was had lost against man u
our revenge was well overdue
It was time for
Payback
As Patrick Vieira
Led the pack
United was the better team
Trying to put Arsenal off track
But then came extra time
And Arsenal were looking sublime
As they began to tease
Soon came penalties
United had no idea
What they let themselves in for
As Scholes took his penalty
United were no more
As Arsenal took home
What was rightfully theirs
there was laughter
and here were tears

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 we can win games and trophies
with our talent
on the pitch like warriors of gallant
who needs money to buy success?
When we’ve got Wenger,
Whose players are invincible –
Simply the best.
