Football Song
We do not mind the winter wind
Or weep o’er summer’s bier,
Nor care a jot if cold or hot,
So long as football’s here;
And fat and thin can all join in,
The sport is all the same;
There’s health and fun for every one
Who plays the good old game.
CHORUS:
So pass and kick,
And dribble and trick
And merrily chase the ball,
There’s naught to choose
’Twixt win and lose—
The game’s the game for all.
Now keep the goal in safe control,
Both hand and foot a shield,
While good fullbacks, with sounding thwacks,
The ball send up the field;
The halfbacks then will charge the men
And feed the forwards fast,
Until they shoot with either boot
And get a goal at last.
(Chorus)
