1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 FOOTBALL!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The ball passes between the players with speed,
Another player gets a turn,
Aims straight at the net and… GOAL!
The ball’s back in play and the other team has it,
Passing by our team and hits our player square in the face,
The game’s stopped penalty to our team,
Two nil to us we have just scored,
Three minutes left, rapid play of the ball,
We score, final whistle blows.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 In the changing room shouts, cheers and slapping of backs,
They’re happy, they’ve won the Championship,
And got into the record books for the fastest goal.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Later on they are in the pub celebrating,
They walk out in a zig zaggy line, drunk,
Talking complete nonsense about how many goals they have scored and getting angry if someone’s scored more,

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 FOOTBALL!
