I'd sit at work and read the 'Zone
Awaiting an official SMS on my phone
And all that I wanted to know
Was who the **** is Sankofa?
(Osei)

You played them all those big time stars
At least it weren't the FA Vase
You made 'em laugh -- you made 'em cry
You nearly made Van Persie fly

So don't become some background noise
A target for all the boo girls and boys
Who just don't know or just don't care
And just complain when you're not there
We've had our time, we've had the Gower
But you've yet to have your finest hour
(Osei)

All we want is Osei Sankofa
Osei who?
Osei Sankofa
All we want is Osei Sankofa
Osei blah blah
Osei what's new?
Osei someone still loves you!

We watch the games -- we've seen the stars
On videos for hours and hours
We hardly need to use our eyes
And we stuff our face with pukka pies

Let's hope you never leave us friend
Like all good things on you we depend
So stick around cos we might miss you
When we grow tired of Clarke's contract issues
We've had our time, we've had the Gower
But you've yet to have your finest hour
(Osei)

All we want is Osei Sankofa
Osei who?
Osei Sankofa
All we want is Osei Sankofa
Osei don't go
Osei Sankofa
All we want is Osei Sankofa
Osei blah blah
Osei what's new?
Osei someone still loves you!

We've had our time, we had the Gower
But you've yet to have your finest hour
(Osei)

Obviously as sufcforever pointed out with my last effort the copyright will need to be sorted before we can start singing it on the terraces.

Maybe this could be the song that clinches it for Ron Martin that we need the North Bank back? Just imagine Sankofa's debut and 3,000 packed into the North Bank all singing this. Maybe the Blue Voice could replicate some of Queen's stage show to add some visual effects to it? Any suggestions besides everyone wearing Brian May wigs?

Any comments/improvements?
 
:D

Sterling work there Cousin Weir, although I fear you have too much time on your hands! Get a job!!!
 
great effort, got me chuckling on a very depressing day stuck in the office when the sun is shining bright outside
