This is the story of a girl named Freya
Who became the world's best football
player.
It all began as a sort of mistake
When her mother baked her a beautiful
cake.
She was almost eight and for her
birthday you see,
There were eight sugar fairies playing
under a tree.
Each one was lovely, but best of all
Was the one who was running and kicking
a ball.
Her birthday party came and, out of
control,
Freya grabbed that fairy and swallowed
her whole!
Freya was struck by a bolt of
lightening.
And everyone said “How good and
speedy!
It serves Freya right for being so
greedy.”
But Freya stood up, not dead at all
And said “I really must kick a ball.”
She ran to the garden as quick as quick
Found a ball and gave it a terrific kick.
It went through the walls, it was
kicked so hard
And knocked the top of the London Shard
And traveled, at twice the speed of
sound,
And landed in Arsenal's football
ground.
Arsene Wenger said “I must have that
player.
There's a name on the ball and the name
is Freya.”
They found her and taught her to head
and pass 'n all
And soon she was in the first team at
Arsenal.
The other team laughed at the big
surprise,
She was eight, and a girl, and was half
their size.
Their captain said “Go easy on her
mate”
But Freya had the ball and then it was
too late.
She dribbled round the captain, quick
and neat,
Ran through his legs and round his
feet,
She jumped over his head and the crowd
all roared
Freya gave a kick and Hooray!, she
scored.
And she scored and scored and went on
until
Her team was winning 50 nil.
The other team soon forgot their sneers
And every one of them left in tears.
After that Freya was a huge sensation
She was in all the papers throughout
the nation
And her playing career went up and up
Till she played for England in the big
World Cup.
They were playing the final against
Brazil
There was a minute to go and the score
nil – nil.
And the crowd was shouting to every
player
"Pass the ball, pass the ball, pass it
to Freya!!"
She got it with only ten seconds to go,
How she ran so fast we will never know.
She made each man look like a silly one
As she dribbled through the legs of
every Brazilian.
Then she kicked with all of her heart
and soul
And it broke the net of the Brazilian
goal.
The crowd all cheered and every player
Was shouting “Hooray! Hooray for
Freya”
There were fireworks and music. It was
quite as scene
As she took the World Cup from the
Queen.
There were shouts and cheers and a
great big fuss
And she rode at the front of an
open-topped bus.
Now each team in the world are
wanting Freya
'Cos she is the world's best football
player.
They said to her “Freya, see how this
sounds,
We want to give you ten gazillion
pounds.”
But Freya said “No that's not for me
I want to go home to my Mum's for tea.”
And so she did.
