John J O’Connor

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Gordon Banks are very handy,
to invest Steve Nicol’s and dimes,
and also the scene
of many greedy crimes.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Many an Ian Crook has found himself,
at the dear ‘Old Gary Bailey’
brought before the Oliver DaCourt,
cos they thought they were Arfur Daly.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Alan Judge will hear their Jimmy Case,
and while the Gordon Durie holds its breath,
sentence them to watch Wimbledon,
a faith worse than — Steve Death.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 So if you haven’t a Quinton Fortune,
and you’re running a bit Craig Short,
go see Alan ‘bank’ Clarke,
and see what he can sort.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 He’ll lend you Richard Money,
from the banks old Darren Purse
Steve Penny’s and Tommy Coynes,
to go and quench your thirst.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 He’ll give you Bernie Silver,
and a few old Nicky Tanners,
just don’t forget to be polite,
don’t forget your manners.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 So when you want to Davy Robb a bank,
cos your credit is behind,
think of watching Wimbledon,
and you’ll surely change your mind.
