VERSE 1
* * **
U-to-pian,
** * ***u
Perfect state of being.(u)
* * **
Eu-ro-pean.
*** ** * *u
Has footy fans a-gree-ing.(u)
* * ** * * *
World Cup battles are O. K.
** ** * ** *
Ask thE average guy and he'll say:
* * **
He'd much rather,
* * * * *
See the best at play,
* * **
Week in, week out.
*** * * * *
So now's the time to break out.
CHORUS
*.** * * *
Now that cer-tain Roy-als,
* ** * * *
Ain't really that loy-al.
** ** * * *
Take the oppor-tu-ni-ty.
* * ** * *
To cut loose of fam-ily,
* *** * *
Free your mind and fin-ally.
** ** * * *
Step up to the gra-vy train.
VERSE 2
* ** *
Men's Super League.
** *.* * *
Every match a der-by.
* * **
So much intrique(u)
* * *.* * * *
So come on join the par-ty.
* ** * * *
Great players should face off,
** * * * * *
Each time they tie their lac-es.
* *.* *
'Cept F.A Cup,
* * * * * * *
That's where A small club fa-ces,
* *.* * ** * * *.*.*
The sides from towns that are stacked with ump.teen clubs.
* * ** *
I feel for them cause,
*** ** * *
They deal with "Messi" pay stubs.
CHORUS
*.** * * *
Now that cer-tain Roy-als,
* ** * * *
Ain't really that loy-al.
** ** * * *
Take the oppor-tu-ni-ty.
* * ** * *
To cut loose of fam-ily,
* *** * *
Free your mind and fin-ally.
** ** * * *
Step up to the gra-vy train.
VERSE 3 - Optional (accent points align with VERSE 1)
* * **
Did banks coldly,
** * ***u
Tell their weal-thy clients?(u)
* * **
Short sell only,
*** ** * *u
The clubs that are not gi-ants,
* * ** * * *
There's more promise to gain ground,
** ** * ** *
Betting against teams further down,
* * **
On the standings.
* * * * *
Should fans not "play ball",
* * **
There'd be regret,
*** * * * *
"I'm sorry!" is all they'll get.
CHORUS
*.** * * *
Now that cer-tain Roy-als,
* ** * * *
Ain't really that loy-al.
** ** * * *
Take the oppor-tu-ni-ty.
* * ** * *
To cut loose of fam-ily,
* *** * *
Free your mind and fin-ally.
** ** * * *
Step up to the gra-vy train.
VERSE 4 (aligns with verse 2)
* ** *
Out on the hunt.
** *.* * *
Looking for a new team.
* * **
Let's be upfront.
* * *.* * * *
I'm not as pissed as I seem.
* ** * * *
Turf is a lot green-er.
** * * * * *
Over on the next fix-ture.
* *.* *
So it could be,
* * * * * * *
I stoked this foul de-mea-nor.
* *.* * ** * * *.*.*
I've got my pick of the U-nit-ed King-dom.
* * ** *
My muse helped me choose,
*** ** * *
A club in Shire: Lin-coln.
CHORUS
*.** * * *
If you want my bo-dy,
Now that cer-tain Roy-als,
* ** * * *
And you think I'm sex-y,
Ain't really that loy-al.
** ** * * *
Come on sugar tell me so.
Take the oppor-tu-ni-ty.
* * ** * *
If you really need me,
To cut loose of fam-ily,
* *** * *
Just reach out and touch me.
Free your mind and fin-ally.
** ** * * *
Come on, honey, tell me so.
Step up to the gra-vy train.
The End
