Senegal, “The Lions”

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Joyful Entrance (red wine and pasta version)
Dusty wind,
Empty streets,
Cans rattle,
Roll unkicked.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Noises build,
Edge of town,
Muffled roar,
Crescendo.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Hawkers shout,
Children chatter,
Seats are filled,
Air grows thick.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Diouf strides out,
Metsu waves,
Centre circle,
The Lions roar…

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Joyful Entrance (Carling and Kebab Remix)
Senegal
Can beat them all
When it comes
To footy-ball.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Senegal
Will run them all
Ragged with
Their silky skill.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Senegal
Hope France will fall
And tremble when
They hear the roar.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Senegal
Can beat them all
When it comes
To footy-ball.
