YANKS-ABROAD HELP OUT

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Football is the beautiful game
The great Pele would often muse
But nothing seemed the same
Watching the Boxing Day news

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Giant waves, watery graves
Lives in Asia needing to be saved

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Citizens of the world open their hearts
And pull out their plastic cards
Waves of donations start
Survivors still on their guards

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Yanks-Abroad is doing their part
Wanting to help out as well
The players & staff & supporters
Giving from their enormous hearts

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Jumping onto the humanitarian cart

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Give to the relief
Through Yanks-Abroad too
You’ll be helping all those people
And may win something for you

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 You may soon be wearing with pride
A Fulham shirt from Carlos Bocanegra
Or even teammate Brian McBride

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 There will be many shirts to claim
Donovan, Convey, Beasley
Perhaps you’ve heard their names

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 So get out your card and click
www.yanks-abroad.com
Win a football shirt for yourself
Your dad or your mom

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 If you don’t give here
Give elsewhere, it’s all the same
Help the unfortunate
Support the beautiful game
