Beardsley

Thus began the search to find the new king Kenny
Cost a record fee and most likely a pretty penny

Produce of the conveyor belt at Wallsend Boys Club
Diet Coke teetotaller who took a shimmy past the pub

An affable Red Merlin, he made the Kop glow
With a hit barber that was sponsored by Flymo

Heartstopping Adonis, Peter of the Mersey
One and only hipswaying Andrew Beardsley

With Barnesey, Houghton and Aldo he took us to he moon
Couldn’t fathom why he was let go so soon
