My Vogue

Muhammad Ali, Sebastian Coe,

Who the hell was DiMaggio?

Daly Thompson, Serge Aguero

That is what I call a hero.

Georgie Best and David Beckham,

Even though he came from Peckham.

Billy Bremner, Johnny Giles

Running midfield with his wiles.

Satriani, Eric Clapton, Hendrix and Brian May,

Let’s listen to these right through the day.

Berry, Jones, Collins and Elvis,

Gyrating away, with his pelvis.

Shakespeare, Milton, Shelley and Keats

All famous for poetic feats.

Murray, Farah, Waldner, Ennis

All sorts of sports, including tennis.

You can pose

I suppose

Vogue

Vogue

Feed your ego

My amigo

Let your proudness flow.

Like you did long ago.

You only need to use your gift

To give yourself that telling lift.

Just get up there and make things dance;

Just do nothing, you’ve no chance.

It makes no difference if you’re short or tall,

You can always have a ball.

If you want

You can be just like me.

But do what you want,

I’m off for a

Pina Colada.
