1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 (MAN UTD 0 – 0 EXETER CITY)

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Sir Alex, look at it this way
Perhaps Exeter City were just too strong
Scoring against a Conference side
Shouldn’t really take that long

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Ninety minutes plus stoppage time yet
All your assembled millionaires
Couldn’t find the back of the net

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Those Grecians from the Southwest
Played with a lot more passion
Something, it seems at Old Trafford
Has gone out of fashion

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Perhaps that is what happens
When a club plays only to exist
And not to make enough money
To buy Porsches and Mercedes
By making your the first team list

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Enjoy your trip to St James Park
Tell your boys to clean their own boots
No – St James where they say “ooh ar”
Back to English football’s grassroots

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 We know this time it’ll be different
You’ll fill your midfield holes
Perhaps starting Captain Keane
And the England man, Paul Scholes

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Either one of these two guys
It shouldn’t come as a surprise
Can buy City and even pay cash

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 But the Exeter guys see a bigger prize
So don’t expect them to crash

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 What happened on FA Cup Day
Between you and them are 93 places
They just wouldn’t let your team play
You guys should be hiding your faces

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Yes, down to St James Park
I’ve been there many times before
Quite often the supporters would say
In Devon it’s awfully hard to score

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 Good luck Alex, I wish you well
You know you have the better side
Sniff the air and enjoy that smell
That, Mr. Ferguson, is Exeter pride
