TheFootball Match Row


Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh.

At the football match there was a row,
About that row I’ll tell you now.
The ref. was kicked by three or four,
Say nothing now ’till you hear more.

Chorus

Will you tell us will you tell us where the ref. was kicked
Say nothing now ’till you hear more
Tell us, tell us, tell us, ah tell us please tell us
Will you tell us please Johnny where the ref. was kicked.

The goalie was a horse of an ass of a man
In the goal mouth now he did stand
He wasn’t big nor he wasn’t small
He never ever let in the ball.

Chorus

Will you tell us, will you tell us, where the ref. was kicked.
Say nothing now ’till you hear more.
Tell us, tell us, tell us, ah tell us please tell us,
Will you tell us please Johnny where the ref. was kicked.

Teams were all togged out on style,
Played great football for a while.
Goalie got a quare lot boulder,
Kicked the forward in the shoulder.
Ref. ran up and blew his whistle,
He gave the goalie his dismissal.
The goalie started to curse and swear,
Next thing there were fists flying everywhere.

Chorus

Will you tell us, will you tell us, where the ref. was kicked.
Say nothing now ’till you hear more.
Tell us, tell us, tell us, ah tell us please tell us,
Will you tell us please Johnny where the ref. was kicked.

Players all started for to fight,
Who was wrong or who was right.
Supporters all jumped across the fence,
Have’nt seen the poor auld ref. since.

Chorus

Will you tell us, will you tell us, where the ref. was kicked.
Say nothing now ’till you hear more.
Ah tell us please Johnny where the ref. was kicked.

He was kicked between the whistle and the full time score.
He was kicked between the whistle and the full time score.
Be the holy man that must have been soar.
