They were beaten, you know, by
high-fying team
Twas the fault of the fates who de

They returned with the bottom knock
ed out of their dream
And some pointers they'd though
were not needed.
1t didn It mean much but it meant JUS
enough
For they knew a defeat when they mel
it.
And they vowed to the town with
bravado and bluff
They'd go out for revenge and they'd
get it.

We were frightened at first for a

And defeat is defeat when you meet

But alas for the money they bet on

They were out for revenge and they

And the faith of city to back it
