"Lo, our new football season's coming,
And dear God I pray to thee;
Make mine team be sweetly humming,
Like once it used to be.
Dear God your aid is exceeding vital,
So indulge me, if you're there,
And prove that we can win the title,
On a wing and on a prayer!
Be there dearest God, at seasons start,
Let Spurs and Arsenal wait,
Make this the year, oh sacred heart,
We knock on heaven's gate!
Dear God through heavenly intervention,
Let neither injury or fatigue,
Nor some silly bite or like suspension,
Deny me just one little league!"
