Boxing Day game (Tune – God rest ye )

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We need to keep our jumpers on,
It’s going to get cold
We need to wrap up nice and warm
Lest cold germs do take hold.
Our hats and scarves we must endure
If we are going to stay,
So shout loud at the team to score a goal
Score a goal
So shout loud at the team to score a goal.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It’s Boxing Day, it’s bitterly cold
We’ve had too much to drink.
We’ve ate too much, not slept enough,
Cigars make our breath stink,
We’ve been sent here so she can rest,
Away from Christmas cheer,
So shout loud at the team to score a goal
Score a goal
So shout loud at the team to score a goal.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 It’s half time now, with no goals scored
It’s turning to a bore.
The players are still drunk as well
I’m not sure that they’ll score.
I’m tempted to go home right now,
And argue with my wife,
So shout loud at the team to score a goal
Score a goal
So shout loud at the team to score a goal.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 It’s near the end, and boring still,
I’m trying not to sleep.
I’ve closed my eyes, the games still there
Suppose I’ll have a peep.
What’s going on, the crowd all shout,
They’re standing and cheering,
So shout loud for the team have scored a goal
Scored a goal
So shout loud for the team have scored a goal

Notes

Just thought I’d revive this little piece – Merry Christmas to one and all,
and enjoy the game you go to.
