As always, feedback and improvements welcome.
Wrote it pretty quickly, so let me know about any rough bits too.
TO THE TUNE OF ANY DREAM WILL DO FROM JOSEPH (BY ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER )
DR SULAIMAN AL-FAHIM
I paid the price, to make it certain
Of us pur-cha-sing, Rob-in-ho
Far far away, he was still weeping
But Chelsea were sleeping
(ROBINHO) Any deal will do
Chelsea had shirts, ready for printing
They had been hinting, he preferred dark blue
But quick to East – lands he was taken
Where his hand was shaken
(ROBINHO) Any deal will do
ROBINHO
I did my sums, the price was right
I got my coat, took the next flight
The colours faded into sky blue
This is my new home (DISPLAY PHOTO OF MANCHESTER CITY STADIUM)
Now I can make a new beginning
The light is dimming, and it's raining too
Berbatov and I, we had been waiting
Been hesitating
He went to Man U.
DR SULAIMAN AL-FAHIM
He's from Brazil, he's really polite
Can kick the ball, with left or right
The ball will fly straight into the goal
He's-like a Pele clone
DR SULAIMAN AL-FAHIM
Now the oth-er, clubs' wealth is thinning
We can start skimming, players old and new
The world and I, we are just waiting
Still hesitating
To-see how City do
ROBINHO
(alternative last verse)
And now I've left, Madrid complaining
I've started training, ready for my debut
The world and I, we are just waiting
Still hesitating
To-see how City do
