1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 David N’Gog was in on goal,
Would the pressure take its toll?
Boom – N’Gog kicked the ball,
Edwin Van Der Sar stands tall

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 But the ball crawls into the net –
Our greatest victory over United yet.
The crowd went all wild and crazy,
Pepe Reina was not lazy,

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Boom, Boom, Boom his footsteps went –
He ran as if he had not paid his rent.
The crowd sings “You’ll never walk alone”,
The United fans had changed their tone.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 The ball skids across the pitch,
Sir Alex Ferguson has a subtle itch,
The final whistle blows –
A massive sigh of relief goes.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 A few choice words from the United staff,
The Liverpool players thought it was a laugh.
Carragher gave the fans a thumbs up –
It was like we had won the cup.
