Fairytale of New Work – a Christmas Song to celebrate Arsenal

Evening from sunny Noosa
A Christmas song from me
Drink and be merry
Wellmo

…………

Fairytale of New Work

It was Christmas Eve mate
In the North Bank
The Clock End said to me,
it’s been a good one
And then they sang a song
An old skool 90s tune
About a boy from Uruguay
Who’s only five foot two

We’ve got a new number one
Unai’s a top class one
I’ve got a feeling
This seasons looking good
So happy Christmas
And Up The Arsenal
I can see a better time
When all our dreams come true

He’s got plans, as big as ours
And he creates perfect goals
If you don’t have the ethic
You’ll be off, you’ll be sold
When first took command,
In August 2018
You could see he has vision
To bring glory to the team

It was stylish
It was pretty
We were Kings of London City
But the team had stopped playing
And the crowd howled for more
Wenger was slowing
The players they were failing
The board called the shots
And Arsene said his goodbyes

The crowd at the Emirates singing loud
From the start of every match day
And the fans are cheering out
for Unai Emery

You’re a bum
You’re a punk
Were the cries on all fronts
The legend of Wenger almost buried and dead
New start and new tactics
New team and new ethics
Happy Christmas The Arse’
The old ways have now past

The crowd at the Emirates singing loud
From the start of every match day
And the fans are cheering out
for Unai Emery

We can still be someone
We can beat anyone
My dreams are now back with me
And they can come true
I kept believing them
I wasn’t on my own
In six months my faith has grown
And I can build my dreams around you

The crowd at the Emirates singing loud
From the start of every match day
And the fans are cheering out
Unai Emery

In memory of Dean Day, who passed away earlier this month.
Great friend and top Gooner.
