Dutch vigour had turned the colosseum into their very own den
Guus was out to prove that the hype was cheap talk
For this he released Arshavin the Mandrake Magician
A hero straight from the comic strip of Lee Falk
Once again Holland had seduced the global football clan
With the Russians they played with cautious abandon
Once again that man Hiddink was the brain behind the plan
mapping victory plans with the others long gone
Scintillating display hurled at doubters much scorn
Miyaso and Koni scoffed cheburek and slemechki
With Arshavin's precision the woeful Dutch to shreds were torn
Van Basten's gameplan all but gone out to sea
Victory in the bag the Oranje were outsung by the Tyolka
Heralding the arrival of the new Zavarov
With Arsha it's the rise of a shiny new star
Tenderly gift wrapped from Russia with much love
