Reworked from a little ditty I wrote last year which fell foul of the old 606 mods. To the tune of "These area few of my favourite things" A Kranjcar bazooka it’s going to nuke yer Huddlestone’s passing and Vedran Corluka Azza and Baley attacking the wings These are a few of my favourite things. Our manager’s ‘Arry our hopes he doth carry Before his appointment two points was our tally Hailed as the Messiah the day he arrived. We went on winning, came 5th and survived. Young Luka Modric he covers the whole pitch He nutmegs defenders which makes ‘Arry’s face twitch An Adebayor hatrick, the crowd when it sings These are a few of my favourite things When Wenger is losing I find it amusing Spurs celebrating and going out boozing When JD is driving and doing a ton And Spurs win a cup when the year ends in a one! Chorus: When the Goons score, Ledley’s knees sore When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad. Rafa’s though passes the Goons on their arses Large silver Trophies and brimming full glasses Beautiful women and creaking bed springs These are a few of my favourite things Me getting blotto and Benny Ekotto I’d pay for a haircut if I won the lotto A Danny Rose volley, the victory it brings These are a few of my favourite things We dance in the aisles as we’ve got two Kyles They’re here for the future they both run for miles And if you’re a Gooner you must now realise That Tottenham above you is not a surprise We gave Villa the needle when we signed up Brad Freidel To Torres and Drogba he’s proved to be equal Picked up for nothing, a bit of a heist He saves far more than the bloke known as Christ. Our reserve keeper is Gomes Brazil’s where his home is He’s short of hair doesn’t know where his comb is In the match warm up from cross bars he swings These are a few of my favourite things. Chorus: When the Goons score, Ledley’s knees sore When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad. Mike Dawson’s heading the goons they are dreading Gio’s performance and who he is bedding A Scott Parker tackle that hurts when it stings These are a few of my favourite things. It’s never been gory the Tottenham story We won the double and basked in the glory Now think Tommy Huddlestone without any dings These are a few of my favourite things. They’re no pretenders are our great defenders Loving girls in black stockings and matching suspenders Sebastian Bassong and Youness Kaboul Each can drink 12 pints and both still stand tall Old Willie Gallas says Wenger’s a phallus He missed out on Sandro and young Jermaine Jenas A clean sheet at home and when the Lane swings These are a few of my favourite things. Chorus: When the Goons score, Ledley’s knees sore When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad. Of long boozy binges poor ‘Arry he cringes On winning a trophy the big party hinges Think Gio and Ledley both spewing their rings These are a few of my favourite things. Loanee David Bentley you’ve got to drive gently Of Carlo Cudichini I must say lamently I’ve been looking for phrases or words that might rhyme I’ve now spent six hours and run out of time Our Russian’s a Roman a fantastic showman From 12 yards he’s lethal it’s such a good Omen Beware of his volleys I call them Blitzkrieg And one day we’ll win the Premier League! Chorus: When the Goons score, Ledley’s knees sore When I’m feeling sad I simply remember my favourite things, and then I don't feel so bad.
