On The Field

On the field
I’m quick as lightening, fast as hell,
When I’m on the field, I’m doing well,
Footy’s my passion and my game,
No other sport is the same,
I do my best to succeed,
I’ve got the power and the speed,
I’ve got the strength to break through,
So get out of my way before I break you!
I got the ability to be the best,
Run at me mate and I’ll crush your chest,
My ball handling skills are great,
When I make a break I’ll shut the gate.
I need a good team to play with me
We’ll run amuck like Mohammad Ali,
And once we succeed at our task,
We will kick every team with our class!
