Aston Villanelle

The boys with claret chests and sleeves of blue
Have found their form, and now they're riding high.
For every goal you score, they will get two.

Results this season prove what Brummies knew.
They won't get beat, however hard you try,
The boys with claret chests and sleeves of blue.

Come Liverpool and Leeds, Chelsea, Man U!
At Villa Park your title dreams will die -
For every goal you score, they will get two.

Some silverware up here is overdue.
This season we can praise them to the sky,
The boys with claret chests and sleeves of blue.

And even if Stan Collymore gets flu,
There's Joachim and Merson (what a buy!) -
For every goal you score, they will get two.

The table tells you what I say is true,
A fact that you'd be foolish to deny:
The boys with claret chests and sleeves of blue,
For every goal you score, they will get two.
