Come on I will show you how I will change When you give me something to slaughter Shepherd boy (Hey!) Everybody sing (Hey!) Better act quick (Hey!) Be my toy Come on have a bet We live on blood We are Sparta F.C. I don't have a jack knife it went up the hill I don't know if I'll get it back But by hook or by crook I will Hey! Hey! Be my toy Come on have a bet We live on blood We are Sparta F.C. Hey! Hey! We have to pay for everything (Hey!) But some things are for free (Hey!) We live on blood (Hey!) We are Sparta F.C. (Hey!) English Chelsea fan this is your last game (Hey!) We're not Galatasary We're Sparta F.C. (Hey!) And take your fleecy jumper you won't need it anymore It is in the car boot moving away 'Cause where you are going clothes won't help Stay at home with TV set Be my toy Come on have a bet We live on blood We are Sparta F.C. Cheap English man in the paper shop You mug old women in your bobble hat Better go spot a place to rest No more ground boutique at match in Chelsea We are Sparta F.C. Come on have a bet We live on blood We are Sparta F.C. Hey! Hey! Shepherd boy (Hey!) Everybody sing (Hey!) Better act quick (Hey!) Be my toy (Hey!) Come on have a bet (Hey!) So I can win (Hey!) This is not a poem (Hey!) For the bin (Hey!) I don't have a jack knife (Hey!) It went up the hill (Hey!) I don't know if I'll get it back (Hey!) By hook or crook I will (Hey!) English Chelsea fan (Hey!) This is your last game (Hey!) We're not Galatasary (Hey!) We're Sparta F.C. (Hey!) Sparta!
