Not sure of the title, but I'm looking for the rest of the lyrics to a song that starts out:

On the night of the Wembley Cup final, I had a most horrible dream
I’d just been invited to play for United and Matt put me onto the team
Like a regular hero I charged down the field, and the goal lay wide open ahead
The crowd bellowed “Shoot”, I’d the ball on me boot, when the ref blew his whistle and said….

Ban the bomb, it’s the highest priority
Don’t stand there kicking that ball
If some bloody mutton should sit on the button, there’d be no more soccer at all.
You who think nothing of scragging the ref, should get this idea in your head
So don’t stand around, while we’re still above ground
Let’s scrag old McMillstone instead.

I'm thinking it was written by Sydney Carter or Leon Rosselson, but I'm not certain.
Thanks, Dale

First Things First... 60s Aldermaston marches. It's in a couple of the songbooks. Don't recall it making any of the big recordings of the day. Rosselson did, but with different songs. Couldn't say for sure though (see below.)

Joe posted a different song of the same (sub)title here: ADD: Songs by Alex Comfort (1920-2000)
Much later take on Ytube, your lyrics... give or take. Don't remember dear ol' Maggie getting a mention in the original though: Ed Sweeney, First Things First
