In honour of our own Derby Day,
here’s our own version of the Ascot Gavotte* from My Fair Lady -
written by Lerner & Loewe, of course! (hoho)

North London Derby
Every little Gooner turns up here.
Everyone from Tottenham is here.
What a smashing, positively dashing spectacle ~
North London Derby Day!
On the pitch are all the players
Waiting for the cue to hack away.
What a gripping, absolutely ripping moment
At North London Derby Day!
Ars’nal rushing, faces flushing,
Lennon speeds up,
Ade’s never been so keyed up.
Any second now he'll score number one.
Hark! a whistle blowing,
Fans sing out “Soldado!” -
Look! we’ve won two-one!
What a frenzied match-day that was!
Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace?
'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling playing of
North London Derby Day!
Prediction: Spurs 2 Woolwich Wanderers 1
Scorers: Ade, Mrs Soldado**

Cheers, Spurf!
* Yes, I know the Derby’s run at Epsom,
but there doesn’t seem to be an Epsom Gavotte I could use……..
** Why "Mrs" Soldado? Try saying it aloud!
