There’s An Idiot Sits Next To Us

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 There’s an idiot sits next to us,
At the Rovers every week,
He doesn’t really understand,
He thinks the future’s bleak.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 “Why’s he playing Andrews there?
Get Pedersen off the park!
And why not sack the manager too?
He hasn’t got the spark.”

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 “Robinson you’re too dodgy,
You just don’t have a clue.
And McCarthy you’re so lazy,
You shouldn’t play in white and blue.”

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 4-4-2 and 4-3-3,
The formation’s always wrong,
But if the boss man changes it,
He says it took too long.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 He’s always yelling for offside,
Wants the linesman to proper look,
But if someone else dares yell offside,
Tells them to read the rule book.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 He moans and moans and moans and moans,
Forever giving grief,
But when we go and turn it round,
Sits there in disbelief.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 There’s one thing I don’t understand,
‘Cos he could make a good few bob,
If he thinks he’s so much better,
Why doesn’t he go for the job!

Notes

I wrote this about the annoying chap that sits next to us at Blackburn Rovers home games. It took me about 20 minutes to write in a bus stop on my way to a dental appointment
