The Famous Red And White

This one came up on a loungy, lazy Sunday, probably after a decent Arsenal performance the day before. I love the throwback sound, the French-German connections [sound like a certain manager we know?], and the fact that it quite easily incorporates the boozy la-la la-la la la repeat, as in "You Are My Arsenal." 


[Milord/Edith Piaf]

We are the Arsenal
The famous red and white
We hate the Tottenham
and we're football [f***ing] dynamite


The cannon's on the crest
We're ready for the fight
We are the Arsenal
The famous red and white

la la la la-la-la
la la-la la la la
la la la la-la la-la
la-la la-la la
la la la la-la-la
We are the Arsenal
The famous red and white
