There's a famous footballing gerbil,
That's noted for good skills and goals,
Her little legs move like jet engines,
As around in her ball she rolls.
Kevin Kegan had heard of this rodent,
As in Eindoven he sat in tears,
England were one down to Portugal,
It had been one of his very worst fears.
Their next match was 'gainst Germans,
The kick-off would be in five days,
The team needed someone to help them,
They needed our Jin's winning ways.
Straightaway Kegan e-mailed Ambleside,
A transfer was hot in his mind,
Five pound a day for our gerbil,
So on the England squad she signed.
The first half ended one,even,
The second began with a bang,
When the Germans hit the woodwork,
And the cheers around the stadium sang.
Kegan decided to play his new signing,
In the eighty-ninth minute of play,
The gerbil shot from the centre,
And the game went all Kegan's way.
The German's couldn't believe it!,
This gerbil is simply the best,
He'd saved England in the last minute,
Jin's better than all the rest.
