Bolton players used to get the bus on match days
Down to Burnden Park to play the game
Football a workingman’s recreation
No money then everyone the same
Now it’s all flash cars and flashy watches
Awash with cash megabucks regime
A Rolls Royce comes to Goodison on Saturday
Out steps Dele Alli it’s not a dream
The world is out of order out of kilter
The rich get richer the poor just stay the same
I don’t blame Alli for the state of the nation
But I really think
He should have left the car at home
