INTRO
| D G/D | D  A/D G/D A/D | D G/D | D  A/D G/D A/D |
| D | Em | D | Em |

            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

    D6
Yes Match of the Day's
         G/D*                    [D]
The only way, to spend your Saturday

| D | Em | D | Em |

     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!

    D6
But Match of the Day's
         G/D*                 [Am]
The only way we spend our Saturday
Am                   D
  And that's not all, our mates the keepers
Am
Slippin' and sliding in the mud
D                     G   G/A
Arms as long as creepers

D G/D  D A/D  G/D A/D
         Send him off Ref' 
D G/D  D       A/D G/D  A/D
         Where are your specs Ref'
D G/D  D      A/D G/D A/D
         Kick you to  death Ref'
D G/D  D   A/D G/D A/D
       Oi! Are you deaf Ref

| D | Em | D | Em |

          D
There's a few things before we go
       Em
That I think you ought to know
  D                               Em
Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles
       D
So put on your hat and scarf
       Em
Have a drink, have a larf'
         D                               Em

    D6
Yes Match of the Day's
         G/D*                       [Am]
The only way you can spend your Saturday
Am                  D
  Don't forget, the trainers with their sponges
Am                          D                     G   G/A
Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches

D G/D  D A/D  G/D A/D
         Send him off Ref' 
D G/D  D       A/D G/D  A/D
         Where are your specs Ref'
D G/D  D      A/D G/D A/D
         Kick you to  death Ref'
D G/D  D   A/D G/D A/D
       Oi! Are you deaf Ref

OUTRO (lyrics mumbled ad lib)

(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 ...
