Gary Hopping (Don't Mess) Lyrics

One last time for the people at the back

This is the story of Gary Hopping

A man who has climbed the ranks

To become the greatest goalkeeper in the land

Let me tell you, a story, about a man named Gary Hopping,

Yeah let me tell you, a story, about a little man I know called Gary Hopping

Gary Hopping is just a man but Gary Hopping has got a plan

He's got a plan to make it to being the best goalkeeper in the land

But you've gotta understand that goalkeeping's just a strand

Of all the skills and thrills and chills and tricks and chicks and licks

That make the Gary Hopping brand

Cos you know he's got it planned

And it won't be long before he's raking in the grands

Every day he plays the same way

But hey he won't stray he's waiting for that payday

When he signs his first Leeds contract

When he's pulling on the shirt you know he will attract

Interest from all the other clubs and teams

That are all keen to snap up Gary Hopping

Yeah let me tell you a story about a little man I know called Gary Hopping,

Yeah let me tell you a little story about that man I know called Gary Hopping

When Gary was just a boy staring at his Nigel Martyn toy

Dreaming of the day when one day he'd play for Leeds

And all his fears would go away

He's gonna win them the FA Cup

He's gonna bring them all his luck

And when he does and beats the rest and they're the best

They'll all remember he told them don't mess

He used to live in Beeston

But then he moved on up to Wetherby for the season

And how we long to have him back to pack some slack

And hack the crack and then some

He used to teach all of the kids

He'd tell them not to flip their lids

Don't mess he said and they progressed and he impressed

And Bielsa put him to the test

That's right he got a call from Radrizzani

He said we've heard about the don't mess army

We want to pay you to play for us and teach the world

To keep goal in a different way

Well you remind us of a young Lev Yashin

We wanna sign you and we promise we won't cash in

When other sides with no pride remind us all the time

why we give them such a bashing

It's cos we've got Gary Hopping in the sticks

Ohhhhh Gary Hopping

I want your babies

Let me tell you a story about a man named Gary Hopping

Yeah let me tell you a story about that man I know called Gary Hopping

When Gaz is in goal they won't score

He's the keeper that the kop end all adore

It's no chore to roar for him for sure is door open for an England call up

He's gonna win the League Cup

Cos you know he's gonna sweep up

He catches the ball falls on it picks it up and gets up and punts it down the field

It's like he's playing with an impenetrable shield

With him in goal you know promotion will be sealed

He got a red card, he appealed

He got an injury, he healed

He's got knowledge concealed in his yield

And his plans he reeled the fans into the stands

And revealed this man's hands were the safest in the land

It's Gary Gary Hopping

Ohhhhwwooooah woooah it's Gary Hoppiiiiing

A little man I know called Gary Hopping

That was the story of Gary Hopping

We all know him, we see him

We wanna be him, we learn from him

We turn to him we think about our fears with him

We drink a couple of beers with him

Ohhhh Gary Hopping we love you

Just tell me you love me too

Don't mess
