Who Is This?

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I’ve had a crop
I’m such a sop
I’m hardly ever fit
Ralphy says he’ll sell me
Though his club won’t profit
I’m a waste of space
An Aussie ace
Who’s tired with fatigue
It’s not the leaving of Liverpol that grieves me
But the thought of going back to Leeds!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 My agent done a dodgy deal
As football agents do
Gary Lineker’s accused me
Of being underhand to steal
We went to court
And we all thought
Of damages so high
For a weekend off to Bondi Beach
As lawyers fought our side
I have this false identity
Of stupidity and greed
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But the thought of going back to Leeds!

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 They say that we are greedy
Us boys who play on field
The only thing about us speedy
Is getting pockets filled
My agents does the money talk
I sign on dotted line
If I’m injured for a season
You blame me of a crime
It’s not my fault the Yates wine vault
Busted up my foot
If I don’t play that’s okay
But I am staying put
I’ve tested Ralphy’s patience
He’s angry I’ll take heed
It’s not the leaving of Liverpool that grieves me
But the thought of going back to Leeds!

Notes

Anyway whatever!
