Today of all days we gave our all but never played
Our football it seems has been lost or at least mislaid
We were played off the park but got a result
Instead of the usual detrimental insult
We what we had to do playing solid giving ‘nowt’
No real attack we just moved the ball with no sign of clout
A nil nil draw is all that we required to take us over the line
We did that so eveerybody’s ‘gonna’ partake a glass of wine
But at last the celebrations can begin in earnest
As we’ve proved again we are the absolute best
How many more titles can this team stay together to win
According to the gaffer it’s now the time to begin

Got up this morning made myself some tea and toast
Sat waiting for the paper then the postman with the post
Another normal day in the centre of humdrum suburbia
Well almost IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITS matchday  I can feel the reverb ‘ere
Sorry didn’t mean to shout or seem very excited today
We need one point from the hated enemy we play
When we’ve done that we can be crowned champs again
It’ll also beat the scouser lot leaving them in pain
A hat trick back to back something at the height of all their glory
That ‘Pool team didn’t manage but that’s another story
So let’s hear it for the United reds in the Theatre of Dreams’
Where history is made on a daily basis it almost seems
Title eighteen lies firmly within our grasp we need a point today
Manchester United crowned English kings that’s the way
God ordained in the greater scheme of things
But it’s really down to Ronaldo and Rooney on the wings
How every other team would love them playing for their side
But they pull on the red shirt and play with all the pride
That wearing Uniteds badge and shirt should bring
Not to mention when seventy five thousand voices sing
About your feats in that shirt of Mancunian red
Whilst you are playing right out of your head

In writing all these poems were men play with round balls
It is all about playing and not the trips and falls
Two teams going at each other like there’s no tomorrows left
First one side then the other trying to fill the cleft
The chasm in ability between the sides on show
Knowing only that when playing it’s really what you know
So the games that you take part in showing that you can
Hold your head so very high along with any man
So let’s hear it for this national game and the way you play
Because in the team you’re playing for there’ll be another day
