VERSE
D
There's the Reds and there's the Greens
Em
Super slicks and has beens
D Em
They're accompanied by three men dressed in black
D Em
One's a whistle, two are flags, and quite often they're the drags
D Em
Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back
CHORUS

Yes Match of the Day's
G/D D
The only way, to spend your Saturday
INTERLUDE
| D | Em | D | Em |
VERSE
D Em
Each side's eleven men, with numbers on their backs
D Em
But at a distance they all tend to look the same
D Em
But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week
D Em
Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!
CHORUS
D6
But Match of the Day's
G/D Am
The only way we spend our Saturday

There's a few things before we go
Em
That I think you ought to know
D Em
Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles

Have a drink, have a larf'
D Em
From the terrace you can see your men do battle
CHORUS
D6
Yes Match of the Day's
G/D Am
The only way you can spend your Saturday

(repeat and fade)
Phfff! Good game 'ey, Ron?
D'you see that goal in the Second Half? oh!
Bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!
I reckon I should've been a penalty myself!
We paid 400, 000 pound for him, you realise that?
Oh - look out, here comes a bottle
Yes, fancy a pint then? My round ...
