This month's song is dedicated to Rossington Sports Centre's most recognisable feature

Yellow Roof

(sung to the tune of ‘Up On The Roof’ most recently murdered by Robson and Jerome)

When our old roof started falling down

The people sent us to go and swim at St James

We came back after having trained there

And all we saw was this put in its place

Yellow roof is there for all to see

Can even be spotted from the M18

Let me tell you now,

When I swim here and we’re getting beat

I look up at that engineering feat

I drift away from the hustling crowds

And that yellow steel is

All I can see

Yellow roof stands out across Rosso

When you ask ‘just where did my football go?’

Oh its on the yellow roof

At night the stars are bloody hard to see

With yellow roof already blinding me

I keep telling you

Right smack dab by the Welfare grounds

I found a paradise that’s trouble proof

So if this old world starts getting you down

Then take a look at the yellow roof

A yellow roof
