[Verse 1]
D There's the Reds and there's the Greens Em Super slicks and has beens D Em They're accompanied by three men dressed in black D Em One's a whistle, two are flags, and quite often they're the drags D Em Kick the ball into the goal, they put it back
[Chorus]
Bm/D Bm Yes, Match of the Day's G/D D The only way, to spend your Saturday
[Interlude]
| D | Em | D | Em |
[Verse 2]
D Em Each side's eleven men, with numbers on their backs D Em But at a distance they all tend to look the same D Em But some own their boutiques, well they clean up every week D Em Inciting riots, causing chaos, such a shame!
[Chorus]
Bm/D Bm But Match of the Day's G/D Am The only way we spend our Saturday
[Link]
Am D And that's not all, our mates the keepers Am Slippin' and sliding in the mud D G G/A Arms as long as creepers
[Middle 8]
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Send him off Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Where are your specs Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Kick you to death Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Oi! Are you deaf Ref
[Interlude]
| D | Em | D | Em |
[Verse 3]
D There's a few things before we go Em That I think you ought to know D Em Obstruction, Body Checking, heavy tackles D So put on your hat and scarf Em Have a drink, have a larf' D Em From the terrace you can see your men do battle
[Chorus]
Bm/D Bm Yes, Match of the Day's G/D Am The only way you can spend your Saturday
[Link]
Am D Don't forget, the trainers with their sponges Am D G G/A Managers with open cheques, liquid business lunches
[Middle 8]
D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Send him off Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Where are your specs Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Kick you to death Ref' D G/D D A/D G/D A/D Oi! Are you deaf Ref

Phfff! Good game 'ey, Ron?
D'you see that goal in the Second Half? oh!
Bit of a dirty tackle that, mate!
I reckon I should've been a penalty myself!
We paid 400, 000 pound for him, you realise that?
Oh - look out, here comes a bottle
Yes, fancy a pint then? My round ...
