Alternative Christmas carol

by Chris Charles - BBC Sport (U1647500) 21 December 2007

A tribute to Ricky Hatton and his fans - with apologies to the composer of the original.

Mayweather, are you listening?
In the gym, sweat is glistening
I'll eat you alive - and take you in five
Walking in a Hatton Wonderland

Cheerio to the pasties
See ya beers, no more Astis
I'll rip off yer 'ead - and put you to bed
Walking in a Hatton Wonderland

When I get home I'm gonna build a snowman
Then pretend that he is flaky Floyd
He'll say 'wanna rematch' - I'll say 'no, man'
Even though I know he'll be annoyed

Mum and dad at the ringside
Brad and Ang right by their side
With Becks and WiIlis - they'll all witness this
Walking in a Hatton Wonderland

Here it is, the day of reck'ning
Stars and bars Mancs are heckling
You wobbled in one - but the ref was no fun
Walking in a Hatton Wonderland

Bloody hell, you've caught me proper
In the 10th I've come a cropper
I'm flat on me arse - and you're different class
Walking in a Flattened Wonderland

Now I'm back in dear old Blighty
Fry-ups here still pretty mighty
The Guinness is ace - and I'm no disgrace
Walking in a Hatton Wonderland

Can you do better? Course you can!

away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus
sat up and he said
'oh,oh,oh Scotland
nanana Scotland,
I'd walk a million miles
fer one of yer goals'

England players watch out
England players better try
And don't be sure of your place
I'm telling you why
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town

He's learning English
He says in only 4 weeks
He'll know how to say Corner routine
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town

He sees you when you're playing
He knows when you're on fire
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake

With 4 assistants and little Zola
And maybe some Englishmen to come.
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town

He sees you when you're playing.
He knows when you're on fire.
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Goodness sake

England players watch out
England players better try
And don't be sure of your place
I'm telling you why
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming to town
Capello is coming
Capello is coming
Capello is coming to town

(Coming to town)
Fabio's a busy man he has no time to waste
He's only got 3 months till England play
(Capello is coming to town)
(Coming to town)
(Capello is coming to town)
(Coming to town)
