Don't Blow Your Horn
Don't they just drive you mad!

Please stop playing those noisy vuvuzelas,
they give me a pain in my head.
And as for the ref and the players
they struggle to hear what's being said.

In South Africa their use is quite common
with thousands of the things being blown.
But most other players in the World Cup
feel it's a long, loud monotonous drone.

Their sound could be likened to insects.
A swarm of angry bees to be exact.
But the long term effects on the eardrums
could be damaging, and that's a fact.

Controversy surrounds the vuvuzela.
From fans and commentators alike.
And players complain their concentration
is hampered when they go to strike.

A ban was considered for these horns.
But the powers that be thought again.
Although part of South African culture,
they've also been described as profane.

So it seems we'll just have to bear
the noise of these horns every day.
By the time the World Cup is over I think
the vuvuzela will be hear to stay.
