Ireland - "Its a rap"

Brady has tried, so has tardelli and trap, but maybe it�s a misunderstanding across a generation gap

You see they don�t do facebook, or bebo online, so I�ll do it in rap and call it �Stevie Ireland time�

Even though I�m not black in fact I�m whiter than snow, I want you to open your ears, and put aside your ego

this little game between you and the Management team is only forcing one loser, and it�s the nation in green

Its true there are some may jeer, but their like *****s on a thistle, they even like to boo at the half time whistle,

But I speak from my heart which I don�t often do, to see you back in our green would make my dream come true

There have been quarrels and anger all through these years, stoking angry discussion as we sip on our beers

O�leary and Keane and even good old Stan, we dont need any more drama like another Saipan

All those millions of text and calls made every day, we just need you to make one and tell Trappa you�ll play

He�s a crafty old sod, but he�s not a bad fella, and if you don�t get through at first, then try his assistant, Manuela.

I would welcome you Stevie straight back into the frame, you are a top class player with a great last name,What happened in Slovakia was no source of shame, if I were in the same boat I may have done the same,

but the longer it goes, and the more it drags out, The harder it is to say those words we wanna hear from your mouth
you see we want you on our team there have been to many times where the fans pay the price but committed no crimes;

How much more do we wait for this speculation to be done, so we can welcome you back like a prodigal son; We�re tired and we�re sick, and our patience wears thin, but If we are to go to south Africa then we need you in

A midfield with Duff, and mcgeady and Whelan,, gives us some hope for the future and that warm fuzzy feelin
You see I was there in the Cusack you left the welsh in a trance with a move I haven�t seen since lord of the dance, and a flick of your foot without breaking a stride, taking the ball around the keeper, and curling it in from way out wide.

You got a talent we should cherish just like Guinness on tap, and we refuse to believe that you have played your last cap, You need to take notes from Richie, and listen to Shay and return for your country, it will all be ok.

I�m certain at City they preach their paying your wages, but they are not like us, they buy players in stages,
We still sing for Ray Houghton, for McGrath and Big Jack, and I would love to read the headlines that �ireland is back��

To call time on your country its just way to soon, we want to sing your name in Croker, and we�ll find you a tune

Ya see we have a singing section so please come home soon, and we�ll sing better songs than City �they can keep their �blue moon�.

Trap has said he�ll start ya, so its your move next, so please pick up the phone and please send him a text, and then I�ll grab a cold one and put Sky Sports on the telly, �Stephen Ireland is available� says Manuela Spinelli

Then I�ll drink, and I�ll cheer and I�ll sing and I�ll dance, then I�ll look to buy me some green superman pants,I�ll party and I�ll rap and I�ll holler at my bi*ches, Stevie Ireland is the man, he just answered my wishes,

Then I'll support you in South Africa but I�m so far in Debt, I�ll make up a story for the FAI so they can charter me a jet, cos I�d like to be there at the greatest show of all and to thank you in person for making that call. Drop a coin on Giovanni so we can get this party kickin, there�s only three weeks to go and the clock keeps ticking, So do us a favour put an end to this Charade cos you know we never judged you over decisions you made. You were only a kid stuck in a bad situation, but say you'll come back, and lift the hearts of the Nation.
