The Longshot

Was a pretty good game today, we could a won by two or three But all of the lads were there, even cousins Joe and Steve And old Bob sittin' on the end, what a foul mouth that man's got When they missed the goal from the penalty box, I swear he was gonna get shot Well thanks for my half time pie, cousin Joe says thanks for his scone I didn't have a go at the half time draw, cos the odds were 10, 000 to one But old Bob sittin' on the end, puts the fivers on each week, And when I asked him what the heck he did it for, he said 'son, one day you'll see' You take the long shot, if that's all there is, And put it in a very safe place where your doubt can't get to it Cos once you're certain, that all hope is gone, a long shot is better than none... Was a shocker of a game today, the lads they huffed and puffed, but 3 nil down by the half time break, I knew we were gonna get stuffed But old Bob stuck out to the end, and when we nicked two quick goals in And their keeper ran out to the half way line, well should have heard Bobby sing ; You take the long shot, if that's all there is, And put it in a very safe place where your doubt can't get to it Cos once you're certain, that all hope is gone, a long shot is better than none... INSTRUMENTAL Was a quiet old game today, we haven't seen Bob for a month, and Everyone knows he's not coming back, but his seat's still never been touched And Joe said he'd heard the worst, that he'd finally popped his socks But I reckon the sod won his half time draw, now he sits in a corporate box He took his long shot, took his long shot Was a critical game today, well we got thumped seven to nowt, but If there was a prize for the best own goal, I think we'd be in with a shout But Joe was miserable as sin, and Steve said he's gutted too, cos There's sod all chance that we can stay up now, but I said any old chance'll do I'll take the long shot, if that's all there is, And put it in a very safe place where your doubt can't get to it Cos once you're certain, that all hope is gone, a long shot is better than none... A long shot is better than none...
