Leeds Flabbergasting Jamfest at the Valley

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Leeds flabbergasting jamfest at the Valley
Gave sagging Yorkshire hopes a mini-rally
But ere they kiss the badges best think twice
They’ve still got both their nadgers in the vice

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Leeds kept shape did some running and worked hard
Not bad for boss without a coaching card
But don’t you large it that your fortune’s picked up
And bragging on the boards means breakfasts sicked up

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 If pushed I’d have to grudgingly concede
Improvements since they said goodbye to Reid
But it’ll take a while to turn things round
And also quite a pile of million pound

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Leeds best salvation’s in the middle east
I don’t like being the spectre at this feast
But dancing to the Sheikh rattle and roll
May not be quite the fancied easy stroll

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 They’ve massive money riding on the Prem
It’s better not to be in hock to them
You’ve seen what happens in the world of gee-gees
And it’s appropriate to quote the Bee Gees

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Leeds won’t be hearing “How Deep is My Love”
When an overseas consortium’s the guv
They’ll be a fat-cat businessman’s pet treasure
And then in luxury repent at leisure

Notes

I’m chronicling the disasters of Leeds United
throughout 2003 on tott-reunited and waccoe [NUFC and
Leeds boards]. This direct participation has been very
productive. After the 4 Goal Thrashings and the 6-1
away to Pompey, Leeds had something of a False Dawn
with some unexpectedly good results. I decided in
fairness to acknowledge this, but to go on slagging
them off anyway.

Charlton 0 : Leeds 1 on 29 November 2003.
