1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 from the emerald isle he came, this unassuming irishman,
he’s the defender i’ve seen at the blues, oh yes i’m a major fan,
seven and a half years he had at wimbledon, and he’s probably bruce’s finest ever buy,
and i can’t believe no big club took him in his prime, i just wonder why,

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 he’s probably the most important player, in the whole blues squad,
and thats a bold and brave statement, bearing in mind he plays in the same side as god,
his timing is just perfect, he watches his prey, and then goes in for the kill,
and like all quality players, at 32 he’s only halfway up the hill

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 he’s cool, calm, and collected, he’s the Ireland captain, and he wears the number 4,
and he has the same attributes as our England legend, the boy named Bobby Moore,
he’s a steady Eddie type of player, thoughout his career his performances have been 8 out of 10,
And i think when he hangs up his boots he’ll go into management, as he’s a motivator of men,

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 But hopefully its a few years down the line, cause we need him at the blues,
thanks to our defending were riding high, and if kenny’s there city rarely lose,
In his first 5 premier starts this season, we didn’t let one in,
And if you can lock out your opponents, you’ll always have a chance to win,

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The Blues fans really love him, and we always chant his name,
You know he hardly gets a booking, which for a centre half is amazing, in the modern game,
So you see, with Kenny at the heart of our defence, with Upy, his partner and his mate,
You can understand why we call him, Mr. Reliable, or King Kenny The Great.
