1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 He dug up the pitch
and put up a parking lot,
with a flat back ten and the team
bus parked on the pen spot.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Mourinho’s catenaccio:
a smaller crowd off the field
than is on.
He dug up the pitch
and put up a parking lot.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 He took all the skills
and put them in a skills museum,
and he charged all the people
an arm and a leg not to see ’em.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Don’t he always seem to go
on and on and on and on…
He raved at Allardyce
for having his own parking lot.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 José, José, he’s
put away that 4-3-3 now.
He’s got a Terrycotta army
from the medieval dynasties.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A warning from Atletico:
first you go one up
then it’s gone—
Arda Turan
dug up his parking lot.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Late last night
I heard a dream door slam,
and a big yellow taxi
took him to Inter Milan.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Don’t it always seem to go
that everyone cheers up
when he’s gone.
He dug up the pitch
and put up a parking lot.

Notes

Love him or hate him, he’s always good cabaret. And I got a poem out of him!
