Reasons to be cheerful, maybe?
Reasons to be cheerful 1, 2, 3
Good summer jolly, more transfer folly
Good golly, Miss Molly and high, high hopes
To replace Bacary, we sign Debuchy
Giroud he like to smouchy and scouting scopes
Ospina the Columbian, come to be our number one?
Szczesny, now the pressure on, will he cope?
World Cup Willie, Sign Alexi(s)
He’s from Chile and he brings high hopes
Reasons to be cheerful, maybe?

All just grin and bear it, a bit of cash to spare it
Your welcome if you spend it, feed the Ox
Chambers could cost twenty, Alexis he cost thirty
Özil he cost forty, no more money shocks
Giroud went and broke it, we need to find a nugget
A striker with a rocket, a fox in the box
Falcao or Cavani, or maybe Loic Remy?
It’s enough to send you potty by eleven o’clock
Reasons to be cheerful, maybe?
Reasons to be cheerful 1, 2, 3
Hot news flashes, internet crashes
Twitter feed clashes, what the heck!
Wenger flies to Rome, should he be at home?
On the dog and bone. All hands on deck
Arsenal in a pickle, spend another hatful?
For a hope of slap and tickle, fans they fret
Window is closing, no time for joking,
Transfer record broken? No we signed Welbeck
Reasons to be cheerful, maybe?
