football fugue
Singer:pete townshend
started hearing chairs screech
thought i had a gut strength
wondering where the wave went
you're wearing the wrong colored scarf
well you're playing your tune
to the terrors of the enemy hauf
well the whistle just blew
the conductors prone to complain
come on son pass me the ball
don't let the violinist trouble your playing
syncopation to the sound of the ball
that conductor must be blind
this session has run into extra time
music has arrived at the football stadium
a logical step would be spurs at the palladium
fifty thousand watts screaming out for a goal
why don't they blow a whistle in rock and roll
get back in your seat the song has only just begun
we need two encores to beat
and the band needs space to run
the spirit of the game is still strong
well i'll never tire of kicking my piano along
all you fans of the score
if you give a show of support
