Jabberwocky - A translation

'Twas footy, and the many fans
did meet and greet within the stands.
But nervous were the playing teams
and the managers felt damned.

Beware their goalkeeper, my men
the hands that catch, the feet kick hard
beware the linesmen and the ref
And shun the yellow card

He took his lucky charm in hand
This local derby would be hard.
He leant against the tunnel wall
And said 'Be on your guard'

And as he stood and pondered this
The other goalie led his team
Proudly to the tunnel's mouth
and muttered 'in your dreams'

1 - nil, 1 all; 2 - 1 2 all
The lucky charm was working well
The other team were beaten down
They'd had the game from hell.

So you have beaten them my lads.
Hooray Hooray we won the cup
This win puts us two points ahead.
you clever lot, we're going up!

Twas footy and the many fans
did meet and greet within the stands
But nervous were the playing teams
and the managers felt damned
