An FA Cup Ditty

A Chelsea Lament or a Barnsley Buzz

The Chelsea hordes, they came by train.

Up to Yorkshire to be welcomed by rain.

They moaned and groaned about the wobbly ground,

And were met with the smiles and songs of the home crowd sound.

They came with millions, and Russians too,

But 't made no difference to me and you.

The Yorkshire lads stood side by side.

To halt the attacking Chelsea tide.

Oh deary me, nearly time for tea, half time approaches,

The Barnsley fans smile with glee.

They came out fighting in these sad times,

Obviously frightened of the Siberian mines!

Soak up the pressure, defend with pride.

'til there's one in the net for the Yorkshire side!

The Chelsea hordes, well, they just cried.

While the Barnsley lads were going wild!

The final whistle approaches and the time ticks by.

Chelsea are ******, why tell a lie?

The whistle goes and Barnsley goes mental.

Never mind Chelsea, 'T FA Cup was only on rental.

More tea vicar, ain't life sweet.

All them millions just to get beat.

More tea vicar, ain't life a bitch.

Oh well lads, say bye bye to the filthy rich.

The moral to this story is needed to be told.

You come up North and bluster and shout,

Don't pussyfoot about.

'Cos if tha puts nowt in,

Tha gets nowt out!
