1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used a whale.
Our goalie tried to save it,
But sadly, he did fail.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used a fox.
Our poacher tried to trap it
And to put it in a box.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used a habit.
The winger tried to kick it but
It turned into a rabbit.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Our football got a puncture,
So we used a delegation.
Our skipper tried to head it,
But we suffered relegation.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used some butter.
Our full back tried to spread it,
But they said he was a nutter.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used a needle.
Our maestro trying to thread it through,
Was thwarted by Brad Friedel.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used a street.
Our striker tried to cross it but
Got knocked right off his feet.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Our football got a puncture,
And so we used some bread.
Our sub came on and sliced it so
We had some toast instead.
