FAN

I'm a football fan but I must admit
That I sometimes act like a brainless git
Like a larger lout or a loud half-wit
Or a totally typical drunken Brit.

But I'm genuine, not a counterfeit.
And I might just lark about a bit
And shove and shout and refuse to sit
But football fans are proud of it.

We wear the legitimate scarf and kit.
It's a bright outfit, so it's no secret.
We're football fans for definite.
We're a rowdy crowd but we're proud of it.

It's a game of guile an grace and grit,
A spirited sport for the physically fit.
With my season ticket in my mitt,
I'm a football fan and I'm proud of it.

With literally little that's not been writ,
I can only add that I'll never quit.
I'm a football fan, not a hypocrite,
A football fan and I'm proud of it.
