1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I bought a dream ticket to see Arsenal play
Up in North London it was a beautiful day
A Scouse got tackled by Ashley Cole
He fell to the ground and just rolled, rolled, rolled

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The referee pulled out a shiny red card
The crowd thought the decision was rather hard
He put the ball on the spot, this guy name Dave
Shot it hard and true but Lehmann saved

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Down to ten men we’ll have to defend
But we’ll need a goal before the end
And I can see in the eyes of the fans in this joint
They won’t settle for anything but those 3 points

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 So the Cole attacking option on the left has gone away
For any other team this could prove to be a long long day
Ash isn’t there but come on down Mister Kolo Toure

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The Gunners suffer these harsh calls every now and then
But any other team’s eleven aren’t as good as our ten

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Into stoppage time the visitors think they’ve shut the door
Nil-nil at Highbury is an honorable score

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 But every Gooner knows that this result would be poor

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 The Arsenal defend deep, now they counter attack
Our captain Vieira hoists the team on his back
He beats a defender and decides to take a crack

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Paddy doesn’t usually over-indulge
But he reaches for the heavens when he sees that net bulge

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 These days the score sounds like a farce
But I still love it when it’s one-nil to the Arse
