about

Despite being old (for a footballer) Kevin Phillips is still doing the business

lyrics

Gimme one more year to prove myself
Im gonna play into my forties
Im gonna keep on scoring for Palace
Just like its still the noughties
Many said that I couldn't do it
So now I'm feeling haughty
So gimme one more year to prove myself
Im gonna play into my forties

I may not have much of my legs left
But I can still play every game
As long as there is space on the bench for my blanket and zimmer frame
I need to be looked after
So I can keep on hanging around
But I can't play evening games
Because that clashes with Countdown

Gimme one more year to prove myself
Im gonna play into my forties
Im gonna keep on scoring for Palace
Just like its still the noughties
It don't matter how old you are
As long as you're feeling sporty
So gimme one more year to prove myself
Im gonna play into my forties
