I’m not quite ready for it yet
We’re playing Spurs away on Saturday
How many goals d’yer think we’ll get?

Asking me to predict the score
Then you’ll have a massive bet on it
Which you know’s against the law’

For a win at White Hart Lane
Get me a pony on the nose*
At best odds that you obtain’

We need to get some readies on
If we’re to have a shout’

Put it all on a win?
If you pray for Defoe to break his toe
Maybe we’ll make a killing’!

To pray or land a gamble?
Its Blues to win and no more talk of sin
So cut this betting preamble’

Spurs always wane
So its on Blues
Who you should gamble’!
