1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Floodlight foxtrots in a star studded parade
A perfect quickstep, a graceful display
A Rooney rumba on the edge of the D
To Cristiano Ronaldo’s Paso Doble

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Each slow waltzing defender has often found
A golden boot bolero that’ll surely astound
The audience whipped up and set alive
After witnessing a goaline Didier Drogba jive

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Every spectator is glued to the show
A freestylin’ Ferdinand and a Tevez tango
Saturday’s spent in front of the box
Watching stars spinning around in their socks

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Corner flag shuffles and crossbar high kicks
Performers unleash their bag of tricks
An Iniesta instep, a reverse spin by Xavi
A perfect score for a mambo by Lionel Messi

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 There’s so much on offer, so much to see
Gareth Bale’s swinging touchline happy feet
A Stevie G pirouette in front of the Kop
Or Frank Lampard’s fanciful Lindy Hop

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A Bernabeu boogie with a salsa twist
A kaka cha cha cha with a flawless assist
From La Liga to the English premiership
Strictly Come Soccer is not to be missed
