Merseyside Derby

The Merseyside derby The Red Peril For every Blue Even Bluer after 90 minute's The tortured fan's faces grimace Children cry on the long road home This is not the 1st and it won't be our last But we are born Everton Blue It's in our D.N.A Tomorrow is another Day To face Red Enemy Fire Thank the Lord for Beer

Told you Jan 2 - 1 We couldn't win a derby if we were the only team playing. Sadly its a game we know the outcome before the game start's
