We don’t need lectures
or two plus two ,
We’re already too smart ,
this football crew .
Hey dude its world cup time and its so cool
We’re staying home ,
we’re not going to school .
So don’t worry if we’re not on the bus.
we’re in front of the TV ,
all of us .
You see we are the boys,
the football boys ,
we plan to party
and to make some noise .
We won't read or write
or listen at all .
we’ll be much too busy
watching the ball .
So we’re putting away
those ball point pens .
And watching each game
the satellite sends .
Its party time
and we’re all having fun .
Life is good,
and we’re all happy and young .
