“Moves Like Aguero”

It’s Saturday night, and we’re home – uh

TV is on, we’re on the sofa

Take it away, Match of the Day, here comes the replay

And it goes like this

Wears a 10, plays like a 9

He’s up front to lead the line

It’s the moves of Dzeko

It’s the moves of Dzeko

It’s the moves of Dzeko

Highlights still on, we’re still here

Listening to Alan Shearer

Take it away, Match of the Day, here comes the replay

And it goes like this

A defender who makes it look easy

Like the next Marcel Desailly

It’s the moves of Zouma

It’s the moves of Zouma

It’s the moves of Zouma

Highlights still on, never ending

Oh no Robbie Savage – ear-bending

Take it away, Match of the Day, here comes the replay

And it goes like this

Precision movement and control

Always seems to get a goal

It’s the moves of Aguero

It’s the moves of Aguero

It’s the moves of Aguero

The BBC just rebid for the TV rights

To show the Premier League highlights

Till at least 2020, your licence fee pays for Match of the Day

And it goes like this

A right back who defends the goal

A right footer but he’s better than Cole

It’s the moves of Azpilicueta

It’s the moves of Azpilicueta

It’s the moves of Azpilicueta

original song and music by Adam Levine, Benny Blanco, Ammar Malik and Shellback (“Moves Like Jagger”)

“Africa”

I hear the whistle blow today

Kicking off this fixture in Man City’s competition

Looking at the team who’s on to play

Surprising to see both some of the selections and omissions

Pellegrini looks sad as if to say

“I’m hoping for a last second reprieve or squad revision

I miss Bony and Toure. Hurry boys we’re waiting here for you.”

(chorus)

International duty’s taken them away from you

There’s nothing that eleven men or more could ever do

They’re playing away down in Africa

The Cup of Nations has taken the players you thought you had…

The players cry out on match day

Unhappy Nasri, sad Aguero, solitary Kompany

You know there’s nothing you can say

To make them stay in Manchester and not go to the Serengeti

You’re up against national pride

As long as it does not hurt their incomes

(chorus)

They’re playing away down in Africa (they still get paid)

They’re playing away down in Africa (paid holiday)

They’re playing away down in Africa (don’t dock their wage)

Gonna take some time to play some football on the side…

original song and music by David Paich and Jeff Porcaro (“Africa”)

“Mourinho”

I’m Mourinho

Smarter than my rivals

I win with class and style

Each day

A champions-maker

A heartbreaker

When you’re my players, you’re playing my way

I’m Mourinho

I’ve won leagues across the world

Best manager in the world

That’s me

If only there were more cups to be won

Cause, listen everyone

I’m the Special One

Mourinho

That’s me

original song and music by Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer (“Moon River”)
