1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I am the football king.
I play on the left wing.
I’m fast, I’m tricky, I’m skillful.
I’m strong, I’m bold, I’m truthful.
I’ve got a kick just like a mule.
I am the best player in our school.
I even know all the rules.
(Well, some of ’em!)
I’m the one they always pass to,
in defence or in attack.
I’m the one they always dash to,
when I’ve scored and I’m running back.
It’s me who sends all the girls in raptures.
After the game they kiss my cheeks.
They carry me high upon their shoulders.
( When I’ve given my all, and I’m feeling weak!)
But I still sign autographs for my many fans.
I’m king of the kop, I’m the hattrick man.
The goal scorer, the striker,
the dribbler supreme!
The penalty taker, the schemer……

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 the dreamer…… of dreams.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Oh, please God,
please help me make the team.
I’ll do anything,
I’ll play anywhere,
(I’ll even play at – Left back!)
Just as long as I get in the team.
Honest.
Amen.
