Whether day or night, we're green and white

As many of you probably know, I hate football. But today, Liverpool (where I was born) are playing Yeovil (where I grew up) and I've decided to throw my lot in with the plucky yokels.

So altogether now, in your best Wurzels accents...

(Sung to the tune of "Two Little Boys" as recorded by well known Olympic
swimmer, Rolf Harris.)

I was born on a Yeovil Saturday
It was persistin' down with rain
My mum said "what a big head"
I aint do'in that again

Well my dad rushed in
and here is the thing
He gave me some great advice
He said "now listen my boy, it ain't all joy
but remember this all your life"

CHORUS
In my heart I am always Yeovil
I belong to the Yeovil Town
Yeovil true, through and through
Whether we're up or down
'cause the sign of a true supporter
is the colour of their heart
day or night, I'm green an' white
we are Yeovil Town, ooh aarh

Well I grew up, I never faltered
and I found me a Yeovil girl
Then there came a weddin' day
and this is the tale to tell

Now the vicar, he said "be faithful,
all others you must forsake"
I said, I'll marry you true, for I love you
but there's something that I must say

CHORUS
In my heart I am always Yeovil
I belong to the Yeovil Town
Yeovil true, through and through
Whether we're up or down
'cause the sign of a true supporter
is the colour of their heart
day or night, I'm green an' white
we are Yeovil Town, ooh aarh

Well time went by,
my gall and I,
we had a little boy
and as things go, we loved him so
our little pride and joy

He learned to walk
Then he learned to talk
Imagine my heart that day
My emotions stirred with his first words
when I heard him say

CHORUS
In my heart I am always Yeovil
I belong to the Yeovil Town
Yeovil true, through and through
Whether we're up or down
'cause the sign of a true supporter
is the colour of their heart
day or night, I'm green an' white
we are Yeovil Town, ooh aarh

Over here, green and white are the colors of Feyenoord, the Rotterdam club that are arch-rivals of Amsterdam's Ajax.

Interestingly enough, one of the other few facts I know about football is that when Feyernoord play, their name above the score thingy is usually abbreviated to "Fnord" on telly. Hail Eris!

Green and white are also the colours of Celtic. Someone else go now.

The most dubious of victories for ver ‘pool, though, considering the amount of ‘cheat’ accusations they’ve had levelled at them for way they dealt with a lowly third division team.

And: bloody Arsenal. Gaghh.

Oh. I thought they were playing Celtic. I saw clips from it, and my brother told me the odds were 2000 to 1. I didnt think Celtic were that bad.

ah bless 'em

i hate football too obviously but this was the one match to watch in 04

yeoavil are the first team in like the history of my home county to get into the proper football league, and good on em. interestingly, same county is the only one in the UK where there is no institute of higher education. yes, it's very backward.

they done good in the first half and i was getting ready with all the shellsuit/car thief jokes, but then the fitness began to tell didn't it Brian?

funny watching all the scouse arse turn their nose up at the horrible pitch, and a good way to spend an afternoon.
