FOOTBALL

With Apologies to Oliver Twist

Football,glorious football.

Don't care what it looks like

-.Burned! Underdone! Crude!

Don't care what those crooks like.

Just thinking of growing fat.

- Our senses go reeling.

One moment of knowing that

Full-up feeling from sitting on the couch!

Football, glorious football!

What wouldn't we give for

That extra bit more,

that's all that we should live for.

Why should we be fated

to do nothing but brood

on football,

magical football,

wonderful football,

marvelous football,

fabulous football,

beautiful football,

glorious football!
