THIS IS CEFN not the SAN SIRO!
Tobacco smoke, coffee and linament Drifting out over the terrace and mixing In a heady brew of songs and curses Calls for "Offside!" "Handball!" "For God's sake Ref!" The handshakes whistles black and white ancients Opinions everyone's got one ask the gaffer It's down our street the right way round So keep your Nou Camps Maracanas Football here grassroots and thriving
The players shouting we hear every word Wind up merchants feigning tackles Wrapped up kids "aye Dad it's freezin'" But still your here with hungry roars "GOAL" collective hearts ring out with passion Ossie Griffiths Williams Cook Spilling drinks and spitting crisps out Goalies stranded by his post Football here grassroots and thriving
Halftime tea and something stronger Linger with your mates a while Bump into the new 11 Kids love this football watch their eyes No plastic seats up in the heavens No stewards screaming "Just sit down" Dads in scarves and wrapped like sardines Backpocket programmes read and studied Football here grassroots and thriving
The Friday night game alive and kicking Making heroes some as legends Others slink off quiet unknown Nowt warms yer heart like lads homegrown And football where the kids can tread the pitch Full time fans and no half time leavers Those cuts and bruises premier medals The shirt is pride show what your worth Football here grassroots and thriving Football here grassroots, alive.
