Watching Delia having a rant was like seeing your Auntie having a go
at the karaoke after a couple of gins. Here, therefore is a tribute to Delia
in the form of a Gloria Gaynor anthem.
At first she was afraid she was petrified
Kept thinking she could never shout when sat by Michaels side
But then she spent so many nights thinking Worthy did it wrong
And she grew strong, once even broke into a song
And now she's in, a half time race
To grab the PA on the pitch with that glazed look upon her face
They should have put the mike on lock they would have thrown away
the key
If they'd have known for just one second that she would let her
mouth run free
She had a go, we had a draw
We'd turn it round now and with the blues we'd wipe the floor
Was she the one who planned to wave clear thought goodbye
Start with a mumble and slowly raise it to a cry
Oh no thought I, cos this was live
But as long as she could raise a groan she'll know were still alive
For she had all her thoughts to give and we had all the shame to
live
But we'll survive, we will survive...hey hey
(Cue music)
We were two goals to the good just to fall apart
So she just had to vent her spleen and open up her heart
But when she sees it on TV she'll feel embarassed for herself
Canaries rocked, plucked-roasted drowned in laughing stock
But do you see...nobody knew
She's not that docile little cook beloved of dumpling stew
We hoped for points and at one time expected three
Then our defence let in two goals but it's the fault of you and me
She had a go, we had a draw
We'd turn it round now and with the blues we'd wipe the floor
Two yellow cards and so Matt Jonson said goodbye
We didn't crumble, we didn't lay down and die
Oh no thought I, cos this was live
If only we could keep the ball our chances were alive
But she had all her thoughts to give and we had all the shame to
live
But we'll survive, we will survive...... Ohhhh!
She had a go, we had a draw
We'd turn it round now and with the blues we'd wipe the floor
Skuffed shot by Fowler and a goal to make you cry
We took a tumble, I want to crawl away and die
Oh no thought I....... (fade)
