JUST ONE GOOD THING...


There's football on the tele' and football on repeats
There's football when you're on the loo and football when you eat
There's football when you're out all night and football when you sleep
Football to make you happy and football to make you weep.
There's football when you meet the wife for shopping down the town
and there's football when, for sunday lunch, your relatives all come 'round.
There's football while you're making love and football in the bath,
football when you mow the lawn or you're just having a laugh.
There's football up in heaven and football everywhere...
and football up in Scotland... If they can call it that, up there ?
Football all around the world and football on the moon...
I think football's taking over if it hasn't already done ?

So while you're cheering our team on or kicking 'round that ruddy ball
please spare a thought for those of us who cannot stand football
Who think it's overrated... and played by prima-donnas
or not played... If it comes to that, by cheats like Drogba or Maradonna.
Who couldn't give a monkey's about footballers (Or their wives...)
and who actually seem to get out a bit and do something with their lives...
Whose attitude is 'Who cares ?' 'cause they can always rise above it
and who don't resort to verbal... or telling you where to shove it.
Where Rooney's metatarsal is not something that looks bleak
but the epithet you called the bloke when it was mentioned all last week
and where arguments go on all day but don't turn into rows
about who is good and who is not and who's a big girl's blouse ?
Yes... The World Cup's back on tele' and though you might find it a drag
be thankful that it's happening 'cause it gave the English back their flag.
