Up at eight, you can't be late
for Matty Jansen, he won't wait.
Watch them run down to platform one
And the eight-thirty train for Matty Jansen.
Matty Jansen, the work's never done, there's always pastures new.
The ball's off your head, back of the net, you're never ever through.
And we were cheering all day, all day, all day!
A while back you could shoot, yesterdays was a beaut,
for there's still smoke pouring offa Reidy's boot.
Matty Jansen, the work's never done, there's always pastures new.
The contract's in two, you're back of the queue, no helmet silly moo
And we were posting all day, all day, all day!
Matty Jansen, Matty Jansen, Matty Jansen, off to join the losers Newcastle or Brum,
And he'll be playing away, away, away !
