The Lyrics
(instrumental opening)
It's 3:00 on a Saturday.
The regular crowd shuffles in.
There's an old man sitting next to me
hoping Wenger won't put Arshavin in.
He says, "Son, I can play you a memory:
Cliff Bastin really knew how it goes.
And I watched Alex James, and Ted Drake won us games
when I wore a younger man's clothes."
La, da-da, da-de-da...
La-da, da-de-da, da-dum...
Win us a game, you're The Arsenal.
Win us a game tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory.
If Man United wins, that's not right.
Now, Ian Wright is a friend of mine.
He won us both cups, '93.
And he's quick with a joke for each Arsenal bloke
and there's no place that he'd rather be.
He says, "Dennis, a sign he was giving me"
and a smile crosses over his place.
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a singing star."
He didn't learn from John Barnes's pace.
Oh, la, da-da, da-de-da...
La-da, da-de-da, da-dum...
Now, Robin van Persie's a Dutch striker
with a great left foot and a hot wife.
And he's talking with Nasri, who's looking quite snazzy
and probably will be for life.
And Eboue is practicing politics
as Theo Walcott admits he dove.
And for Charlie we'd sing, or was Brady the king?
And at Number 12 is Perry Groves!
(instrumental break)
Win us a game, you're The Arsenal.
Win us a game tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory.
Because if Chelsea wins, that's not right.
It's a sixty-thou crowd at The Emirates.
And the manager, Wenger half-smiles.
'Cause he knows that "One-Nil to The Arsenal" is a thrill.
We'll be top of the League in a while.
And the North Bank, it sounds like a carnival.
And the Clock End, it smells like a beer.
And we point and we curse at some fans of the Spurs
and say, "Man, what are YOU doing here?"
Oh, la, da-da, da-de-da...
La-da, da-de-da, da-dum...
Win us a game, you're The Arsenal.
Win us a game tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a victory.
And you've got us feeling all right!
(instrumental close)
