The Lyrics

M&P originally wrote this in time for Brazil 2014. Forgot to submit it. Then forgot again for Russia 2018. So, we give you Qatar 2022. Good thing the subject matter isn't time limited! Original song on YouTube

I annoy with the way I play
“What’s your caper?”, opponents say
Their shirts, I snag in most sneakily way
I’m yellow carded

Pulled back striker, the whistle comes
Kicked his ass, poked his eye with thumb
Name’s written down, from the power above
Yellow carded​

Yellow carded, yellow carded
The ref is blind – this I surmise​
Yellow carded, yellow carded
It’s ‘cus I push, it’s the way I shove

Caught offside to my frustration – linesman I abuse
The referee assigns me
Bleeping colour like chartreuse
I’m yellow carded​

Raked studs – yike! Dragging down my thigh
Man in black, to stop game, declined
Decision’s wrong: as such I opined
Got yellow carded

I avoid playing by the rules
‘Pposing fans think I’m such a tool
And I told ref; thought that he is one too
I’m yellow carded​

Yellow carded, yellow carded
E-go of mine is oversized
Yellow carded, yellow carded
My name is mud, whistler’s had enough

Take a dive and feign prostration – not sublime, my ruse
In stoppage time you'll find me
Slowly lacing up my shoes
And yellow carded​

Yellow carded, yellow carded
“Ref, are you blind? Should open eyes”
Yellow carded! Yellow carded!
It boils his blood – red fate might come

I remember this song. Fits it well. "Take a dive" is just one of the things I hate about football. I'm the only adult I know that has never seen a football match. Not even on TV. Not even the World Cup. Most I've ever seen are the goals, etc on the news. Gimme rugby, boxing & strongman any day
