'Until the light takes us' was inscribed on my hotel door
'Staines' quite literally, were all over the floor
So why do we all do it? It's so hard to explain
The mental anxiety, the travel, the financial drain

My pre-match ritual sees Sophey make me a baguette
Highlight of the day, until Casey finds the back of the net
Off he runs towards Glasgow's real 'Green and White'
Burgess Hill town score late giving us all a genuine fright

Our friend Alex Barratt is a real undisputed Hendon star
We spend the entire evening propping up the club's bar
Come the end of the night players are dancing on the table
Confirmation if required that we are all mentally unstable

The Gaffer popped by for an introductory chat
I mumbled something incoherently, he must think I'm a prat
It's part his fault I'm a drunk and constantly broke
In Earls Court, five pounds for a pint is beyond a joke

Those whom run the club are a real genuine quality act
We've got the best Gaffer in the league, an indisputable fact
Yesterday, like this drivel, has no rhyme or reason
John Fordham is on the mend - See you next season!
