Muffy's Soccer Song

Muffy's Soccer Song is a song from the album Arthur's Really Rockin' Music Mix. It is based on the story "Muffy's Soccer Shocker" from the TV show, in which Muffy's father, Ed Crosswire, becomes coach of the Lakewood Elementary Soccer Team. The album's liner notes describe the song's musical style as "World," though Muffy seems to sing the song with U.S. southern accent.

Muffy

My Daddy was made

Head coach of our team

He wanted to run it

Just like a machine

Oh, we were broken down

In need of repair

Then he came up with drills

To get us in gear

The Shock Absorber, Muffler and a Piston, he said

Could win us a game

Oh, but my feet are like lead

Oh, those drills really hurt

And now everyone's beat

They'll all blame it on Daddy if this ends in defeat

But if we work really hard

Things could turn out right

And my Dad might let up

My legs won't ache all night

Cause it's not if you win

But how you play, it's true

You've got to give all you've got

That's inside of you

Mr. Crosswire

Nice try, kiddo!

A little to the left!

Almost, sweetpea!

Muffy

Oh, no!

Mr. Crosswire

What happened? You looked like you had that one.

Muffy

But it was coming right at me!

Mr. Crosswire

That's the point, precious. The ball comes at you and you stop it. You'll get the hang of it! Okay, team, another round of penalty kicks! And let's put some Piston in it this time!

Muffy

Mighty Mountain was up

We were doin' okay

Then I got put in goal

Oh, what a terrible day

Oh, I let past a goal

I thought I would die

But I stopped another

And they called it a tie

(cheering)

You see we worked really hard

Things all came out right

We could show our faces in the brights of light

Cause its not if you win

But how you play, it's true

You've got to give all you've got

Deep down inside of you

My Daddy was proud

And so was I

You know this feeling, you just can't buy

Mr. Crosswire

Oh, Muffy, I'm so proud of you! (sound of car horn honking)
