Let vuvuzelas bray, blaring their joy en masse (performing quite by chance a work by Philip Glass) The rainbow nation wins. Ok, success too late, But better late than never; winning still feels great. Scoring not once but twice against the mighty Bleus (and last sixteen, if only Mexico would lose). With players but little known, South Africa pressed on Against a French team stars in Europe every one But stars whose fires were dim, indifferent to their fate, The home fans roar them on, the nation can but wait As ninety minutes tick by, their tournament then done But praise and joy abound ‘cos at the last: they won!
Having the extra two syllables does help, with vuvuzela ;->

The rainbow nation wins. Ok, success too late,
But better late than never; winning still feels great.
Scoring not once but twice against the mighty Bleus
(and last sixteen, if only Mexico would lose).
With players but little known, South Africa pressed on
Against a French team stars in Europe every one
But stars whose fires were dim, indifferent to their fate,
The home fans roar them on, the nation can but wait
As ninety minutes tick by, their tournament then done
But praise and joy abound ‘cos at the last: they won!

ça suffit?
