Green Is the Colour

The craze
And chase,
The loud cry out
And our laughing out loud,
Should I call this madness,
Or over joyfulness?

A goal was thrown in by Kaka,
All fighting for the Oscar.
Emenike opened the game
As Mikel throws the stone.
My heart is rising,
And my legs are squeezing.

Goooaaa! Oh no!
That was so close!
For uniting us together,
Football is the way and no other
As I'm celebrating with a white man
Right here in the Etihad.

They'll say never work alone,
But alone they got to their home.
The nozzle of the gunners
Couldn't even get the runners.
Yet they come banner high again
We will win today o, Amen.

A bridge can crumble,
The devil also fumble,
But like the morning sun
Never missing her turn,
The super eagle will always soar
With white and green her colour.
