Evening. Been working on a couple for the legend already that is bukayo saka. Wanted to post them together but can’t quite finish one satisfactorily. A common tune from Chickory Tip’s ‘son of my father’ for this one though…
Bukayo saka - bobbing he was weaving he was scoring goals.
Bukayo saka - born to wear the 7 for the arsenal.
Should be in the running for the balon d’or
More to come!
There’s only two Andy Gorams
Classic
La la la la la la la
La la la la jesus
hey Jude. It’s obvious
Saka, Saka on the wing (to the tune of Jota on the wing by Celtic)
I know a good one about Sammy Lee 
Sorry it took so long for me to notice @davidhillier. Yes! I had to look it up. I don’t know the tune. And Saka would be ‘from…’ eng-er-land?
I still haven’t finished the others I was working on. My lyrical dictionary has dried up. If anyone has any inspiration, this is what I’ve got so far…
Baccara - yes sir I can boogie
Gabi
He’s rightly earned his reputation
He’s a sensation
And he’ll keep coming back for mooooore…
Ohhhhh super martinelli
If you stay you won’t go wrong
He keeps running running running all night loooong…
Listen, we told you in the first verse
And in the chorus
But we can sing it one more time…
Beatles - when I saw her standing there
Well he was just 17 when he burst on the scene
And the way he looked was way beyond compare
He’s gonna be super saka
When we saw him standing there
Beatles - ob la di ob la da
(Struggling with the verses)
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on
Woah la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on
Woah la la la la marching on
Proclaimers - 500 miles
(Again, struggling with verses)
And he would save 500 goals
And he would save 500 more
Just to be that man who keeps a 1000 goals out for the arsenal
Aaron ramsdale Aaron ramsdale
La la la la la la la la la la la…
Keep 'em coming! COYG
I like the Oh Bla Di one!
I’ve had a breakthrough on the ob la di ob la da!
I reckon I was overthinking it - trying to rewrite too much. But I did eventually come up with one new verse.
Desmond has a barrow in the marketplace
Molly is the singer in a band
Mikel is gaffer of the of the arsenal
By far the greatest football team in all the land
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
In a couple of years they have built a home sweet home
With a couple of cups in the trophy room
Of good old arsenal
(Hahahaha)
Mikel takes the arsenal to Wembley
Feels as though he’s never been away
Lifts the f.a cup and turns the team around
And as they hand it to him we begin to say
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Ar-sen-al Ar-te-ta marching on woah
la la la la marching on
Love it 
This one is a bit messy. I don’t expect anyone to remember all the names. I like the idea of a song to honour the great players over the history of the club though (with a little help from the list on arsenal’s official site). And the tune could be used for something else. So, with thanks to nirvana - smells like teen spirit…
We’ll sing a song for arsenal’s best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
Hello, hello, hello arsenal
Hello, hello, hello arsenal
Hello, hello, hello arsenal
Hello, hello, hello
Frank McLintock, Tony Woodcock
Brian Talbot, Andy Ducat
Sammy Nelson, Bobby Wilson
Kenny Sansom, Danny Clapton
Liam Brady, Peter Storey
Charlie Nicholas, Mickey Thomas
Georgie Graham, David Seaman
Aaron Ramsey, Thierry Henry
Yeah! Hey. Hey.
Tight fit - the lion sleeps tonight. Easy to add another verse.
For the arsenal the mighty arsenal
Our Aaron/Raya keeps tonight
For the arsenal the mighty arsenal
Our Aaron/Raya keeps tonight
O-wim-o-weh x16
I challenged myself to find a song for odegaard. I’ve shortened the second and last verse as I feel it has a better pace to it. Frank Sinatra - ‘young at heart’ is the source.
Fairytales can come true, it can happen to you
Martin odegaard
And it’s hard you will find, to be narrow of mind
Martin odegaard
You can go to extremes with impossible schemes
But we’ll laugh when your team falls apart at the seams
Don’t you know that he’s worth every treasure on earth
Martin odegaard
For as rich as you are, he’s much better by far
Martin odegaard
And here is the best part
We have a head start
Cos we’ve got Martin odegaard
Very good, but can I suggest to keep the meter right, the last line might be:
Cos we’ve got our Mister Martin Odegaard.
Abba - I do I do I do I do I do. A bit tongue in cheek.
So come on don’t deny it
If it’s Brazilian he’ll buy it
Yes it’s true, edu edu edu edu edu
Any time of the season
Don’t need no other reason
He wants you, edu edu edu edu edu
(I like the tune though, so I may adapt for more sincere use)
and long may it continue!
#cheer up Postecoglu
Oh what can it mean
To a
Fat aussie bastard
And a
Shit football teeeeeam#
(To the rune of Cheer up Sleepy Jean)
Daydream Believer, but 7 or 8 out of ten, Dave. Keep it up.
Had this rattling round my head recently. Just for fun. Aimed at Mr Southgate.
“Not Fair” as performed by Lily Allen
Oh, he treats players with respect
He picks his favourites all the time
We travel thousands miles away
We get through qualifying fine
You know I’ve never met a man
Who’s made me feel quite so secure
He’s not like all them other coaches
They’re all so dumb and immature
There’s just one thing
That’s getting in the way
When we go to the finals, you’re just no good, it’s such a shame
We all sing from our hearts
We wanna to get behind you
The handbrake’s on, and before we know it, it’s all over
Oh It’s not fair
How you make us wanna dream
make us wanna dream
You make us wanna dream
Oh, you’re supposed to care
And you make me wanna scream
You make me wanna scream
You make me wanna scream
Oh it’s not fair and it’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
It’s really not ok
Oh it’s not fair how we never see them play
We never see them play
We never see them play
I am still working on hotel calafiori. But this struck me like lightning today. Now that ramsdale has moved on…
Raya’s the one and only!
Nobody i’d rather keep
Raya’s the one and only!
You won’t take Raya away from me
Chesney hawkes’s one and only!
