He is a scruffy little kid from the Moss Side

and he plays for the Moss Side Reds

He plays each night by the scrap heap

him and his mates play the game

one lots United the other lot City

playing the beautiful game

At school he is not the brightest

some say he as an empty head

but he as got is mates and

he is content with that

the scruffy little kid from the Moss

one day when he is older

who is to say he will not be

wearing the Red of United or

even the Sky Blue of the Blues

playing the beautiful game

playing for England at Wembley

scoring that World Cup Goal

playing the beautiful game

that scuffy little kid from the Moss
