Joe Dunn were a bobby for football	A
He gave all his time to that sport	B
He played for the West Wigan Whippets	C
On days when they turned out one short	B
	-
He d been member of club for three seasons	C
And had grumbled again and again	D
Cos he found only time that they d used him	E
Were when it were pouring with rain	F
	-
He felt as his talents were wasted	G
When each week his job seemed to be	H
No but minding the clothes for the others	C
And chucking clods at referee	H
	-
So next time selection committee	H
Came round to ask him for his sub	I
He told them if they didn t play him	E
He d transfer to some other club	I
	-
Committee they coaxed and cudgelled him	E
But found he d have none of their shifts	C
So they promised to play him next weekend	J
In match against Todmorden Swifts	C
	-
This match were the plum of the season	K
An annual fixture it stood	L
T were reckoned as good as a cup tie	M
By them as liked plenty of blood	G
	-
The day of the match dawned in splendour	H
A beautiful morning it were	H
With a fog drifting up from the brick fields	C
And a drizzle of rain in the air	H
	-
The Whippets made Joe their goalkeeper	H
A thing as weren t wanted at all	A
For they knew once battle had started	G
They d have no time to mess with the ball	A
	-
Joe stood by the goal posts and shivered	N
While the fog round his legs seemed to creep	O
'Til feeling neglected and lonely	H
He leant back and went fast asleep	O
	-
He dreamt he were playing at Wembley	H
And t roar of a thundering cheer	H
He were kicking a goal for the Whippets	C
When he woke with a clout in his ear	H
	-
He found 'twere the ball that had struck him	E
And inside the net there it lay	P
But as no one had seen this ere appen	K
He punted it back into play	P
	-
'Twere the first ball he d punted in anger	H
His feelings he couldn t restrain	K
Forgetting as he were goalkeeper	H
He ran out and kicked it again	K
	-
Then after the ball like a rabbit	Q
He rushed down the field full of pride	R
He reckoned if nobody stopped him	E
Then appen he d score for his side	R
	-
Alf way down he bumped into his captain	K
Who weren t going to let him go by	M
But Joe like Horatio Nelson	K
Put a fist to the Captain s blind eye	M
	-
On he went 'til the goal lay before him	E
Then stopping to get himself set	S
He steadied the ball and then kicked it	T
And landed it right in the net	S
	-
The fog seemed to lift at that moment	U
And all eyes were turned on the lad	V
The Whippets seemed kind of dumbfounded	W
While the Swifts started cheering like mad	V
	-
'Twere his own goal as he d kicked the ball through	H
He d scored for his foes gainst his friends	C
For he d slept through the referee s whistle	X
And at half time he hadn t changed ends	C
	-
Joe was transferred from the West Wigan Whippets	C
To the Todmorden Swifts where you ll see	C
Still minding the clothes for the others	C
And chucking clods at referee	C
