I think I better leave right now..


THE funny folk at Today FM came up with a classic for today's Gift Grub sketch which featured Roy Keane leaving Manchester United for the last time.

It's sung to the tune of Will Young's I Think I Better Leave Right Now and it's just hilarious so I thought I'd share the lyrics with you. (Yes, I am a TOTAL nerd who listened to the song over and over and scribbled down the words, so sue me!) Er, so they mightn't be exactly correct (or make sense) but you'll get the gist!

The song itself can be accessed at www.todayfm.com and follow the links for the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show and then Gift Grub. Earlier today that part of the site wasn't working, I think because of so many hits but you might be lucky.

Apologies for lack of posts in last few days, have just been mad busy. But I'll try harder in the future. Meanwhile, here are the lyrics, enjoy!

I Think I Better Leave Right Now, by Roy Keane

I've gone,
When did I arrive?
Cos all they've left me with is me bloody P45

No more mid-field General
No holding role
But at least I'll be the richest man down the dole

And for me who'll they replace?
A lad with a bit of pace
But will he ever make the face?

So I say..

I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Our players are getting cheaper and cheaper
Somebody's gotta tell me how
That Alan Smith's a midfielder
I think I better leave right now

They say don't worry
Sure we'll be grand
Sure we've got Wes Brown and Rio Ferdinand
I told the Gaffer
You're having a laugh
If you think that tool is a decent centre half
Because he's just no bloody use
Always has an excuse
I never heard that from Steve Bruce

So I say..

I think I better leave right now
Leave all the prawns and the blazers
I think I better leave right now
Before it dawns on the glazers
Can't you just see it now
Here come the knives and the razors
I think I better leave right now

All credit to the time it's flown
Remember how I beat Juventus on me own
The greatest midfielder of his era
Are you listening Patrick Vierra
But I'll keep going, you'll see
Even with me dodgy knee
Oh how the mighty have fallen, it's pathetic
I might end up in Wiggan Athletic

I think I better leave right now
Leave all the prawns and the blazers
I think I better leave right now
Before it dawns on the glazers
Can't you just see it now
Here come the knives and the razors
I think I better leave right now

"Oh how the mighty have fallen, it's pathetic
I might end up in Wigan Athletic"

The irony, he actually ended up at a worse club, Glasgow Celtic!
