SWITCHING SIDES
(Words and music by Douglas Hinton)

Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?

Well he used to be a loyal Tottenham supporter
But they didn't give him much to write home about
So he's become a loyal Chelsea supporter
At least until that Russian money runs out
So you may accuse him of gloryhunting
Or of being a plastic armchair Chavski fan
But as long as the boys in blue keep winning
He'll swear to everyone he's a lifelong fan

Aye right
Aye right
And Elvis Presley plays bingo every Friday night
In Strathaven

Now there are things that can and sometimes must be changed
Like your clothes, your hair, your wife, even your name
Then there are things that can't and simply must not change
Like the team you support in the beautiful game
So if your mate owns up to being a traitor
But says switching sides long ago's somehow okay
If he pledges his allegiance to a blue flag
Remind him of his old white one then please say

Aye right
Aye right
And Elvis Presley goes bowling every Saturday night
In Gibraltar

Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
Who do you support this week mate?
