Ready For The Game © Langford/Learmonth 2022

You might call it superstition or think it's pretty lame
but with our red socks and our 3 scarfs we'll be ready for the game
Some think it's stuff and nonsense and we've only half a brain
but it's part of what we like to do getting ready for the game

Lucky shirt, use the same cafe or a pub that's on the way
Take the same route to the ground, same time of day
Some say it doesn't help we're going to win or lose or draw
It doesn't matter what we do we won't affect the score

Red red red red socks
Red red red red pants
Red red red red scarfs
Come on you mighty Hawks

We can talk to our gods, they can speak to theirs
But if both of us are asking, does it cancel out the prayers?
So we’ll keep on doing Those rituals perchance
Coz it makes us feel supportive Just like our lucky pants

We do a job for the team but perhaps it's just for us
Sing songs in the shower, leave at 1 for the bus
And even if we don't win then it won't be us to blame
We've kept up with our rituals, getting ready for the game

We belong to something bigger, it doesn't have a name
and nothing's going to stop us now getting ready for the game
