Released on "Spot The Pigeon E.P.", 1977.

|
|
There's the Reds and there's the Greens
|
Super slicks and has beens,
|
They're accompanied by three men dressed in black,
|
One's a whistle, two are flags, and quite often they're the drags
|
Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back.
|
|
Yes Match of the Day's
|
The only way, to spend your Saturday
|
|
Each side's eleven men, with numbers on their backs
|
But at a distance they all tend to look the same
|
But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week
|
Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!
|
|
But Match of the Day's
|
The only way
|
We spend our Saturday
|
|
And that's not all, our mates the keepers
|
Slippin' and sliding in the mud
|
Arms as long as creepers
|
|
Send him off Ref' ***!!++??
|
Where are your specs Ref' +++***!!!
|
Kick you to death Ref' !!XX**??
|
Oi! Are you deaf Ref' X*+X*!!?
|
|
There's a few things before we go
|
That I think you ought to know
|
Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles
|
So put on your hat and scarf
|
Have a drink, have a larf'
|
From the terrace you can see your men do battle
|
|
Yes Match of the Day's
|
The only way
|
You can spend your Saturday
|
|
Don't forget, the trainers with their sponges
|
Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches
|
|
Send 'im off Ref' ***!!++??
|
Where are your specs Ref' !***&&&!!!
|
Kick you to death Ref' !!XX**??
|
Oi! Are you deaf Ref' X&+X&+!!?
|
|
...Phfff! Good game 'ey, Ron?...
|
...D'you see that goal in the Second Half? oh!...
|
...Bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!...
|
...I reckon I should've had a bet on it myself!...
|
...We paid 400, 000 pound for him, you realise that?...
|
...Oh - look out, here comes a bottle ...
|
...Yes, fancy a pint then? My round...
