drink.
D
Colonel Chief MacLeish was
very pleased
as he took to his seat
G

For it was said his wife had made

a special birthday treat

He wore blue braid, blue plate,

The only thing that wasn't blue,

a steaming great dumpling piping hot
D
Oh, they grabbed it, stabbed it,

Their anger changed to laughter
when they saw it could be fun,

D
Still they play this game today
Though they've changed
the rules somehow

We're el even dumplings
A

And they call it football now
