what an interestingly sanitised version.    I've only ever heard the
Glasgow accented version which went something like....

He's fitba crazy, he's fitba mad
And the fitba it has taken a'
The wee bit sense he had.
And it would take a dozen skivvies
To  {....? ...}
When wee Jock became a member o' that
Turrible fitba club.

And, no, I don't remember the 5th line either tho' it might have
something to do with cleaning off the mud of a football pitch but I'm
not sure!
