WELCOME TO OUR FOOTBALL CLUB
 
Mum and Dad come watch my game
Cheer and shout and say my name
Watch me run and kick the ball
Don’t be concerned if I fall
 
Meet my coach, he’s just a dad
His training drills aren’t so bad
I might not get a full game today
There’s other kids who want to play
And see the ref, he’s just a man
He can only see what he can
 
There’s pies and drinks over there
The canteen helpers really care
You can even lend a hand
Volunteers are in high demand
 
I’ll probably never be paid to play
But for now, I’m living day to day
So come watch my game
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry
If you’re patient with me
I’ll always try.
