Saturday Is Father-Son Day

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 It’s finally Saturday!
I’ve been waiting all week for today!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It’s been a hard week earning my pay,
For tickets, drinks and a programme on matchday,

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Dad asks, “what will be the score, son?”
Just 2-1 would be awesome!

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 I’m going for a 2-1 bet on us to win,
I’ve had enough of us drawing,

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 The crowd are shouting and singing!
Dad, I think we’ll win!

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 My lad’s confidence is reassurance,
We need a good performance,

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 3 o’clock can’t be far off!
The teams are out for kick off!

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Anxious fans are boisterous,
Our nervousness masked by noisiness,

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Yes! 1-0! Come on lads!
Why are you nervous dad?!
We’ve got off to a great start,
But I can still feel my pumping heart,

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 No! 1-1. They’ve brought it back!
There’s only 10 minutes left! Let’s attack!

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Oh well, I think today’s just not our day,
But fingers crossed, touch wood and pray,

12 Leave a comment on verse 12 0 I’ve got my lucky scarf on!
Yes! That’s two-one!
