Ready for Bed


Hi Joe

I trust that you are still awake after what happened

I was watching the Chelsea game on television

They were three two down entering stoppage time

And I was creaming my face waiting for the whistle

The game was ten minutes over and then a penalty

I thought we would score and that would be that

3-3 Happy Josie

And then we won it and I burst into tears

My cream ran into my eyes and I found it hard

To see the madness that was taking place

No chance of sleep for Josie I thought

So I made a mug of hot chocolate

Waiting for your call that never came

But I was not cross with you just happy

Football is such an amazing game


Sleep Well My Love
