 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'
Oi! Are you deaf  Ref
 
 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 him off  Ref'
 Where are your specs  Ref'
 Kick you to death  Ref'
Oi! Are you deaf  Ref
 lyrics mumbled ad lib)
 (repeat  and  fade)
 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 been a penalty 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 ...
