The Wonder Of Seeing Red ..Thru Blue Glasses

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 As much as it pains me to say it
But credit where credit is due
You have to admire such passion and fire
That the Arsenal had laid out on view

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 It’s their free-flowing play and posession
That saw them unbeaten so long
As you gaze on you know as they sweep past their foe
It’s their rhythm and flair that’s so strong

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 It’s hello to the purring and strolling again
And their gliding and effortless style
With Italy’s best strewn all over the place
Well it makes even Chelsea fans smile

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Without any ducking or diving
Or gathering round referees
With skill and finesse they remind us whose best
When they set out to dazzle and please

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 And maybe we can’t call them “British”
Whatever a British team is
But when they perform it’s like champagne at dawn
Its like strawberries served with Bucks Fizz

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 While Europe takes note of a side written off
In the way they wrote off Liverpool
And maybe it’s Barca that everyone fears
But Wenger is nobody’s fool

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Just quietly fashioning gold from the earth
Now the Gunners are stealing the news
It’s cheeky I know -BUT..if Henry should go
Could you make sure…he comes to … The Blues?
