1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 they’re movin’ in there early
they think that it’s all done
and Cyril’s checking out the pitch
he’s Squirrel’s number one

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 he’s sussing out the atmosphere
hes’ sniffing out the land
they said it was a library
but Cyril’s got a plan

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 nice one squirrel
nice one son
it’s hard to catch a squirrel
when a squirrel’s on the run

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 and Cyril is the spokesman
the families’lll follow
’cause Cyril’s army’s movin’ in
it’s like there’s no tomorrow

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 he chose a busy day to call
to test the grass and clover
Henry couldn’t name the day
but reckons it’s all over

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 they’ve seen the lovely drawings
they’re sketching out their own
a hazel tree or two perhaps
to beautify their home

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 be better when the crowds have gone
those peanuts ain’t that great
but squirrels will be movin’ in
and Cyril just can’t wait

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 nice one squirrel
nice one son
it’s hard to catch a squirrel
when a squirrel’s on the run

Notes

for Cyril The Squirrel….who led security a merry dance on the pitch the other night at Highbury during Arsenal v Villareal. Apparently Cyril was univited, but was actually there on business and having a cheap preview and a look round the pitch, before showing the family , a spokes-squirrel told the Football Poets.This was the last evening game before Highbury is turned into flats with a lovely welcoming green space in the middle..guess who’ve got their eye on it…will he bring the family along for the game against Spurs..?
A commentator for 5 Live at 12.43 on Saturday April 22nd reported that everyone was being searched on the way in for the Spurs agame (honest) in case people were bring in squirrels..it’s true..i just heard it!
I know some people hate squirrels …but they have a right to be here as well as foxes and ourselves……..so… If you should find an injured squirrel anywhere please contact www.squirrel.com who do a great job looking after them ..
