The Great Indian Takeaway

The Great Indian Takeaway

Number one for poppodom
Tell me where our club has gone
Venkys you don't understand
What it's like to be a fan
Things get worse every day
It's the great Indian takeaway

Number two for vindaloo
Tell us what you plan to do
100 million down the drain
Nobody wants to explain 
From the eastern hideaway
It's the great Indian takeaway

Number three for kedgeree
Lacking in integrity
You've betrayed Uncle Jack
And the fans will not come back
Till the Venkys go away
It's the great Indian takeaway

Number four for chicken goa 
Can you hear the Ewood roar
Course you can't; there's no one there
'Cos the owner doesn't care
Hope they'll all come back some day
It's the great Indian takeaway

Rogan Josh is number five  
Rovers fortunes took a dive
Suffered relegation twice 
Seems you took the wrong advice
Still you have nothing to say
It's the great Indian takeaway

Number six for Bombay mix
How do you all get your kicks?
Do you care about the sport?
Or was it just a passing thought 
Five thousand miles away
It's the great Indian takeaway

Seven is for Keema nan
Our club is going down the pan 
Officials mouths are all stitched up
Give us back our football club
Listen to the fans, they say
It's the great Indian takeaway

Dave,
I can feel the curdling of the curry in the gut in this.

(mind, if someone steps in to rescue you pray that it`s not the Chinese...they`re buying up everything.)

(great to see you face on the blogs again!)
