“Buzzing About The Bees”

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 On the train
Going West
But this is different
From the rest.
Not a Sunday morning
In a field
With only a jacket
Or brolly as a shield
The only fan at a game!
Tonight is your exception
At Griffin Park
Glory boy hunting
At this Youth Team game.
It’s the Second Round Proper
Of the FA Youth Cup
Complete underdogs
But with a bit of luck…
I know it’s unlikely
But I love to dream
A chance to outwit
The Football League cream.
We’ve never beaten
Professionals away
Got this gut feeling
Tonight’s our day.
Maybe it’s not our greatest crop
No excuse for our cup run to stop.
If luck’s on our side we have a chance
Who knows…later tonight
Could be our victory dance.
You think I’m crazy for watching the Youth
Mock me for doing so take the piss
Backing my team I may be mental
But I totally live for nights like this.
