Since I’ve got older, the last trophy

Was eight long years from now

I hope that you’re saying ‘Give him time’,

Blaming injuries, excusing my whines

If we had come up with FFP

Many years before

Would we still have Roman or Man City

Now I’m sixty-four?

We’ll buy Suarez too

And if you say the word

40 mill plus two

Eight games played and we’re top of the league

Now that Fergie’s gone.

From Jack to Santi to Giroud to Jack

Total football is coming back

Passing the ball, beating AVB,

Who could ask for more?

Will you still need me, (I could go to PSG),

Now I’m sixty-four

Every summer we can buy a big name

Real Madrid don’t need (even if he’s dear)

Ivan: scrimp and save

Mesut Özil signed for me

Higuain wasn’t so brave

Pat Rice has gone, now Steve Bould is here

I’m still in control

Sir Chips will tell me how long I will stay

But don't think I'm going away

Give me a contract, fill in the form

Three more years or four?

You know you still need me, (I signed Ramsey)

Now I’m sixty-four
