Ødegaard to Ødegod (Arsenal Football Song)
This is the story of Martin Odegaard in three chapters, told as a slow-building cinematic ballad. Chapter one: a fifteen-year-old in Drammen, the youngest player Norway's top league had ever seen, with every giant in Europe lining up to sign him. Chapter two: Real Madrid, where at sixteen he became the club's youngest-ever player, subbing on for Cristiano Ronaldo for thirty-three minutes against Getafe. That was all he got, and four years of loans followed at Heerenveen, Vitesse, and Real Sociedad. Chapter three: Arsenal, the armband, and the Premier League trophy, the club's first in twenty-two years. A soaring sung hook carries the arc from the boy Europe chased to the captain North London calls Odegod.
[Chorus] From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Madrid sent him abroad, now the Emirates applaud [Verse 1] Fifteen years old in Drammen, homework still in the bag Youngest in the league's history, grown men chasing the lad Every giant in Europe lined up to place a bid Sixteen when he chose the white, the wonderkid of Madrid [Chorus] From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Madrid sent him abroad, now the Emirates applaud From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Fifteen in Drammen to the captain of the squad [Verse 2] Sixteen in the white, subbed on for Cristiano under the lights Thirty-three minutes, that was all, then he faded from sight Heerenveen, Vitesse, Sociedad, four years on loan The kid Europe chased at fifteen, twenty-two and on his own [Bridge] Then Arsenal came calling for the boy Madrid let slide Arteta gave him the armband, told him go and lead the side Twenty-two years of waiting, he lifted the league for the squad Raise the eight in North London, from Ødegaard to Ødegod [Chorus] From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Madrid sent him abroad, now the Emirates applaud From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Fifteen in Drammen to the captain of the squad [Chorus] From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard) Fifteen in Drammen to the captain of the squad From Ødegaard to Ødegod (Ødegaard, Ødegaard)
