Come gather 'round, my little friends,
I've got a tale to tell
About a game we all love so much,
And how we cheer and yell.

It's football, a game of skill and might,
With kicks and throws and runs,
And every time we step on the field,
We know we're having fun.

We gather with our friends so true,
To watch and shout and scream,
As our favorite team takes the field,
And fights to win the dream.

We cheer them on with all our might,
And jump up with each score,
And when the game is done and won,
We leave, wanting more.

So come on, friends, let's grab a ball,
And head out to the park,
We'll play a game of football,
And let our laughter spark.

For we are strong, we are united,
And we stand as one, you see,
And when we play, we play to win,
For we are a team, and we are free.
