Fellow foot.ie-ers,
Those of you who have been around here for a couple of years - as well as recieving my commiserations, you may also recall an excellent thread 2 years ago in which numerous comedy EL-related Christmas carols were penned and posted on the site. I don't know who started it, but it was a stroke of genuis at teh time. Who can forget the numerous versions of 'Do they Know its Christmas....! (e.g. 'Feed-er cluuuuub' with reference to Bohs, 'Feed the Duuu-uuubbs' etc etc) :D
Well - it seems to me that this event should be reinaugurated as an annual tradiiton. To kick start the process, I've penned a little ditty about the arson scare at Merrion Square,. It's to the tune of 'Nelly the Elephant' - not a Christmas tune, granted, but I do believe it was a Yuletide No. 1 many years ago.
Anyway - here's a starter for 10. Let the creative juices flow, and then to top off the 'Post of the year' vote, we can have a 'Yuletide Foot.ie tune of the year' vote as well.
To the tune of Nelly The Elephant.
Maxi McAllister parked his cab
and said goodbye to his family
Off he went with a paraffin can
Splash, splash, splash !
Maxi McAllister parked his cab
and trumbled off to the City,
Off he went with a match in his hand,
Splash, Splash, Splash !
Up to the door he went strolling
without a care in the world.
Dundalk shirt on, a case that is strong,
and a bannner outside unfurrrrrrllleeeeed.
Maxi McAllister stormed HQ
Security they were sleeping
Off he went with his rantitty rant -
Farce, farce farce !
Maxi McAllister cleared the place,
the blazers did a runner
With that electro-static hair, Delaney was scared
He'd make a spark, spark, spark !
The Press and the Guards came pour-ing,
down to the Square to see
A fat football fan, with a match in his hand,
Molesting a Christmas treeeeeeeeee
Woooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh (sound of Fire Engine siren).
Maxi McAllister said his piece
Delaney refused to engage him
Time it flew by, the petrol it dried
"Bhallacksh - woht noyyy" !
Maxi McAlister mulled over his plans
And just as it seemed he was struggling
McGill he appeared, old Maxi was cheered
Smile, smile, smile !
Surrender to the Guards was sor-ted,
And so our story ends
One question remains - what ever became,
Of his Christmas tree girl-friennnnnnnnndddddddddd
Wooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh (start again from beginning).
