A song highlighting the audacity of MCFC to challenge the elite of the Premier League!
lyrics
We got no fans
We got no class
Got nothing that’s fantastic
But we’ve got great players
Gotta big club
But just us fans are plastic
Won the FA Cup before
The Toffees, Liverpool & OT
Before Chelsea and Arsenal
But why let the facts spoil a good story
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
How we’re more than a H-H-H-hundred years old
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
That our football is a S-S-S-sight to behold
2019, 2011, and 1969,
But we’ve won more than that as we go back in time
1956, 1934 & 1904
And guess what? We’ve still got time to win plenty more!
We won a European trophy before football was invented
Calling us a plastic club, it seems like we’re resented
We play at the Empty Had to 50,000 plus
Just go on believing the hype if you must
Trot out the usual anti-City drivel
Calling us all plastics isn’t very civil
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
How we’re more than an H-H-H-hundred years old
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
That our football is a S-S-S-sight to behold
28,000 in division three in 1999
Dickov saved our bacon as we were running outta time
And in the 21st century, we’re not really here
We don’t really care
Cos we’ll never disappear
Made in Manchester
Made of oil
But remember, Billy and Frank
And blue-blooded Mike Doyle
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
How we’re more than a H-H-H-hundred years old
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
That our football is a S-S-S-sight to behold
Thanks to the Sheik
We can rock n roll
Thanks to Khaldoon
We’ve retained our soul
Scoring goals & giving pleasure
With football off the scale
Got the Invisible Man & a blue moon
So how can we fail?
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
How we’re more than a H-H-H-hundred years old
We got no, no, no, no history
So it’s a m-m-m-m-mystery
That our football is a S-S-S-sight to behold
