ROLL UP FOR THE DONKEY DERBY!

Now Wembley's seen some glory days beneath the old twin towers
From England 1966 to Nelson's finest hour
The hallowed turf has also seen some awful tragedy
When Gordon missed in extra time in 1983...
Now pigs could fly all over the place, bad refs all get a ban
And every Falmer NIMBY become a Seagulls fan
But we who love our football never thought we'd see the day -
The smeggy sons of Selhurst walking down the Wembley Way!

CHORUS:

Ee-aw! Ee-aw!
The Palace got to Wembley, they've never been there before
Ee-aw! Ee-aw!
Roll up for the donkey derby, there's room for plenty more......

Now they beat the mighty Portsmouth with a fluke last minute goal
'Gainst the awesome power of Rochdale they played the starring role
The Grecian gods of Huddersfield were calmy swept aside
And the way they dealt with Cambridge filled all Selhurst Park with pride..
And then they met a proper team, and confidence was thin
'Cos the last time they played Liverpool, they didn't exactly win (9-0, nine-nil)
But the Anfield defence deserve ten years on the dole
For letting in that quadruped to score the winning goal!

CHORUS

There's old Gary O'Reilly - what's he doing here?
He should be wandering up and down the beach by Blackpool pier
Pemberton and Pardew - one role for them I'd say
And that's the leading animal in a school nativity play....
And as for Man. United, they hardly raised the tone
With Gary 'Crystal' Pallister, a donkey of their own
The final was a comedy, the replay was a bore
And the crowd were shouting 'Eagles' - but it should have been
'Ee-aw!'

CHORUS
