lyrics

A KING

A shady skyline, an English din.
An ashen gal selling ale and shandy.
And a skinhead yelling slangily and insanely,
as lads and ladies, all hyenas, sing snidely and inanely.

Ah Dalglish!

A slide and a skid, a silky skill,
a slinky dink, Kenny glides and links,
snaking and leaning and easily landing.
His leg is aligned and, ah,
a lanky lad's leading shin denies an ideal ending.

Kenny hides his head in his hands.
He digs in, as he is held, yanked and ankled.
He's all agile design and handy angles, and...ah...
he delays, and he has skied a daisy.

His head hangs, he's hiding, dallying, and..
Ah! He's sneaking in, in a single dash,
and an angled lash is.. in!
A lead is gained and he is hailed a king.

King Kenny. Dalglish!

As Kenny signed his deal, I inhaled gladly.
A silly, skinny kid, shaking and saying,
“I like Kenny” and “Is he shy?”.
I sigh. Dalglish!
