Saturday Night In Relegation
A word once spelled out
Defining what Saturday Night was all about
Lads from Bay City
Scene colorful, enchanting, and ever so pretty
Roller and rocking
Having one number that brought opportunity knocking
Entertaining enthusiastic disco dance girls
Experimenting with hair curls
Today Londoners are inside
Trusting the health care credibility protocol guide
Proclaiming lockdown
Serious rhetoric it did sound
Was this ugly frown?
Coming from the crown?
That brought modern life back to the ground
“Stay at home!”
Spewed the cautious tone
Instructed on the magical cell phone
“Maybe read a book all alone”
Club suggestion American author Nathaniel Hawthorne
And his writing about Witches scorned
Then convicted for the reason they were born
Passing the spiritual grades
Puritan anger sharpened threatened biblical blades
Intention protect evangelical attitude that resembled a virgin island
No one around to challenge any lying
During minute thirteen
Gallagher gent had a goal it seemed
“Get us out of relegation!
We are tired being patient!”
Came from the bird
When heard
“Extra time went way too long
The length of a Led Zeppelin song
We need to socialize and that is not wrong.”
Vengeful blades should be put a way
Scoreboard reporting nothing to say
Watch those in peaceful flight
Reminding those the Kingdom was once known as Albion white
Stop worrying about isolating fears
Instead start toasting Saturday Night cheers
