Song for the Saddlers - Our Favourite.

Chris Whitting has come up with a great idea for the Song for a Saddlers competition. The decision is made on Monday evening. We take a look at Chris's entry.

Having had chance to see the other songs in the Song for the Saddlers competition. TheSaddlersFC would like to officially back Chris Whittings effort.....

You turn to me and you ask me if I love you,

more than the grass and the trees?

I say of course my dear, of course my dear,

I love you more than these.

 

But you’re disturbing me watching football focus, and I feel you’re still not done.
“You love me more than nature, but what about Bescot Stadium?”

No, no, no, don’t be mad, how do you expect me to answer that? You’ve got to realise I’m a Saddler ‘til I die - but you could always up and leave me someday,

You could always up and leave.

And then she asks what’s the greatest day of my life.

“Was it the day we were wed?”

I say it’s close my dear, it’s close my dear

- but I’ll answer this instead.

The feeling that you get when you’re in the play-off final

with 10 minutes to go

you’re 2-1 down and that clock it is against you,

and Walsall take a throw.

Ooh it gets crossed into the box, and Reading score a great own goal

While I dream of penalties, Byfield lets a rifled shot go-o-o

 

And everything moves in slow frames,

the keeper stretches out - he’s not to blame

it’s surely wide, it will surely miss,

my heart beat skips as the net bulges.

No, no, no, don’t be mad

how do you expect me to answer that?

you’ve got to realise I’m a Saddler ‘til I die

but you could always up and leave me someday

You could always up and leave.

 

No, no, no, don’t be mad

how do you expect me to answer that?

you’ve got to realise I’m a Saddler ‘til I die

but you could always up and leave me-e-e

 

I love you with every morsel,

but don’t expect to be compared to Walsall.

Oh I love you with every morsel,

but don’t expect to be compared to Walsall

 

No-no-no, No-no-no, No-no-no, No-o-o-o-o-o

 

Closing instrumental - the rest is spoken as the music fades

 

"What are you walking off for? Come on, I only answered an honest question with an honest answer. What do you want me to do, lie?

Yeah? I've known Walsall longer than I've known you, I've been going since I was seven.

Come on! What are you in a mood for? Yeah, what? No, this is exactly what I mean, Walsall don't go in a mood with me, they don't walk off just because I answer a question honestly.

C'mon. Come down the Bescot, I'll get you a Balti Pie!

Come on ..... Balti Pie?

OK, I'll take that as a No!"

Although it is a panel of judges who choose the eventual winner we are sure that this version will be a favorite with fans should it win. Well done Chris. Good luck on Monday.
