Football’s Top Table

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Barcelona and Real Madrid
So many of the usual faces
Juventus and Bayern Munich
Come in and take their places

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Villareal and Werder Bremen
Check out the seating Plan
And sit down at the top table
With the brothers from Milan

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 P.S.V. Eindhoven and Benfica
Quaff glasses of quality wine
Ajax lay their napkin down
As they all prepare to dine

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Liverpool are guests of honour
Chelsea rise to pull a chair
The Arsenal start applauding
Glasgow Rangers stand and stare

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Lyon next to The Champions
Discuss their hopes and wishes
Everton carry the food and drink
Manchester Utd. await the dishes
