THE FIVE IN A ROW IS WHAT WE'RE AFTER

I wanna sing a song of this Dublin football team
 
Since I was a child they've always been my dream,
 
They went from sour milk to a 99' Ice Cream
 
They're the best team that I have ever seen
 
-- Who put the ball in the Kerry net?
 
Kevin Mac did and the scene was set
 
For the greatest team that this country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Chorus:
 
The Five in a Row is what we're after
 
All Dublin will be jumping up and down with laughter
 
The greatest team that this country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Cluxton gets the ball and taps it on his toe
 
Gives it out to Cooper and away he goes,
 
Gives it out to Fenton, right on the nose
 
Fenton gets fouled but the ref doesn't blow
 
-- He sees Johnny Small sneaking up on the right,
 
Johnny sticks it o'er the bar to every Dub's delight
 
The greatest team, that the country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Chorus.
 

Philly McMahon, he is a very hard man,
 
Takes all the flak but doesn't really give a damn,
 
Fitzy and Davie control the parallelogram
 
Scully and Kilkenny execute the masterplan
 
- Paddy, Cormac and Bernard give their heart and their soul
 
In very close matches, they pulled us out of a hole
 
The greatest team that this country have seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Chorus
 

McCarthy and his big strides, causing earthquakes
 
Cian O'Sullivan is elegance and grace,
 
Howardy gets down and wins the dirty break
 
Passes to McCaffrey who leaves them in his wake
 
-- He's flying up the wing without breaking a sweat
 
He comes in the middle and sticks it in the net
 
The greatest team, that this country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Chorus
 

It's in the closing stages and things are very tight,
 
Deano's put them over from the left and the right,
 
King Con and Mannion are leading the fight
 
But we're two points down and the end's in sight
 
-- Jim springs Dermot Connolly with 5 minutes to go
 
He sticks in the corner for The Five in a Row
 
The greatest team that this country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

Chorus x2
 
The five in a row is what we're after
 
All Dublin will be jumping up and down with Laughter
 
The greatest team, that this country has seen
 
On their way to Histor-ee
 

UP THE DUBS!!!
