Hide AdIt;'s a take on legend Elton John's 1972 hit single Rocket Man - and it's brilliant!
The full lyrics are here, in case you fancy a sing-along yourselves:
He packed his bags last night, pre-flight
And he flew from overseas
Yes, he'd been hired
To manage Leeds
I miss the Premier League, I miss European nights
But now we're playing with style and grace
I'm sick and tired of time-wasting teams, playing Leeds
They cannot handle the high press, can they Marcelo?
Don't think it's gunna be a long long time
Until we are promoted, don't resign
You're not the man they think you are at home
El Loco, no
You're the Bucket Man
Bucket Man, turning over teams at Elland Road
You're the type of coach. that gives a chance to kids
In fact they're playing well
You found a way to improve them, yes you did
All the science our players understand
It's just their job five days a week
Oh, Bucket Man
Oh, Bucket Man
From Argentina, yeah
Don't think it's gunna be a long long time
Until we win promotion, don't resign
You're not the man they think you are at home
El Loco, no
You're the Bucket Man
Bucket Man, turning over teams at Elland Road
Don't think it's gunna be a long long time
Until we win promotion, don't resign
You're not the man they think you are at home
El Loco, no
You're the Bucket Man
Bucket Man, turning over teams at Elland Road (repeat)
It has turned out to be a very topical release, too, with the news that this year's John Lewis Christmas ad features Elton John and his first piano. You can watch that advert here.
And the possibility of singing along to this absolute classic while sitting on your very own official Bielsa Bucket could be too much for some Whites fans to refuse over the festive period.
