So Sonny gave you one birthday bonus*..... And here’s another one* for you, Maggie! Many Happy Returns of today! And of course it’s Deanna Durbin (my mum’s favourite!) to carry the good wishes. I hope my re-wording of the song doesn’t spoil it for you! Oh, Danny boy, the stripes, the stripes came calling: And so you might go down with Brucie’s side. For now you’ve gone, and sadly Rose is falling, Since you said cheerio – I haven’t cried. But it’s a loan, so hombre, ¡ten cuidado! And if the Toons are hushed (bear chests on show), They might then see that you are now a shadow, Oh, Danny boy, I really hope they’ll love you so! It’s now we see that all your skills are dying, Your mojo’s dead, that’s plain for all to see. You’ve simply lost the pace (and I’m not lying) - You’re on your knees and overweight (like me!). Though I still see that debut goal which thrilled me, You’re now so vain, think you’re a VIP! I’ll have you know that your big head just killed me - And I shall sleep in peace ’cos Spurs have set you free! * Maybe we should regard it as a Brucie Bonus?
