45 Down, One to Go

Here we go again then

Once more unto the breach

A final game of the season 

The playoffs are in reach


Like children on Christmas Eve 

We board our coaches and our trains

All hoping for pleasure 

All expecting pain


And yet nothing could’ve prepared us

For the season that we’ve had 

Had you said we’d be in this position after September 

Everyone would’ve thought you were mad


No one could have seen what was coming

Or how it would manifest

If goals went in off Kelman’s boots

Or in off Keeley’s head


By November we thought it was over

By December we were staying up

In January the team went from strength to strength

And February was like we won the Cup


March, well let’s not dwell too long

April we came back from the dead

And May is now here and we wonder

How this season will be put to bed


And after cup runs and winning streaks

It all comes down to this

A Bank holiday in Huddersfield 

One really not to be missed


So thank for this season, Orient

And to whoever stays or goes

Only time for one final cry of

COME ON YOU O’S!
