| JOE, I WANT TO GOT TO THE FOOTBALL MATCH WITH YOU | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Sweet, sweet Flo had a beau named Joe Quite an ardent football follower To the local match with quick despatch Every Saturday he hied Sweet, sweet Flo wasn't asked to go And her heart was always sorrowful She thought it a shame to miss each game So sadly she cried. Chorus: Joe, Joe, Joe, I want to go to the football match with you Joe, Joe, Joe, I want to go to the football match I do Joe, Joe, Joe, I want to go, and if you don't take me too When you bring your little wedding ring, 'Twill be 'offside' with you Off he'd go to a football match and Flo Would remain at home in misery For in fancy she the game could see As across the ground they sped That's why Flo dropped a hint to Joe That she'd like to go on Saturday And each Friday night to him she'd write A postcard which read, Chorus: Flo and Joe to each match now go And they shout 'Hooray' for Robinson And when Jenkins shoots, then bet your boots With the rest of them they roar Thomson's play they could watch all day And they rave of good old Harrison But oh, you should hear the way they cheer If Perkins should score.
