Joint Bottom!
Who we with?
With Soton.
Where are we?
Joint Bottom.
Rip it up, start over again.

Forgotten!
Finances?
They’re rotten.
Where are we?
Joint Bottom.
Knock it down and build it again.

Of cotton!
Should we sell?
Lock, stock ‘n’…
What’s the snag?
Who’d want ’em?
Kick ’em out, bring in some new men!

Still love ’em.
Even though Joint Bottom.
Some day we’ll be up top again!

Notes

Everton currently sit joint bottom of the Premier on 15 points, together with Southampton. This one inspired by the song Rock Bottom by Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran.
