Any Deal Will Do song

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

I like that. :)

This bit reallllllly fits well:

"I did my sums, the price was right
I got my coat, took the next flight
The colours faded into light blue
This is my new home"

Inspired. :)

you're very talented Robo

Thanks guy and gal :)

Now I'm looking at it again, not sure if I should change the Brazil verse, or the one before to have the Dubai group singing, cos the change of tone is a bit dodgy there. hmm

This is very good - don't need to put up the original words as it's well enough known and you're breaking copyright. ;)

Would it be better if Robinho held up a picture of Manchester United instead of City? Or confused the two in his singing sections?

Loved the chorus as was pointed out by Mikey.

Thanks, SlagA.
Thought it was better manners to post the original lyrics as a reference (and easier for those who didn't know the original - How about if I referenced the source directly in a footnote?)

I like the confused idea. Might be funny if he holds out a picture of Old Trafford, and some Arabs hurriedly swap it with one of City.

Only prob is he gets it right with the Berbatov line.

You seem to have a good grasp for parody songs Rob0, well done.

This line is too long, Rob. It doesn't scan.

"This is my new home (DISPLAY PHOTO OF MANCHESTER CITY STADIUM) or (Manchester's my new home)"
