Intro
Saturday morning
As he walks there
My little boy
How big he's getting
Chorus 1
Little boys who act like pros
Want it at all costs
Lemonade for the thirst
They're 3–0 down and still behave
And that's what makes those boys pros
Lemonade for the thirst
Verse 1
Don't drop your heads guys, apply a bit of pressure
Go fetch that ball yourself and drop back a little
Find space, a bit less in the scramble
After that little plastic cup of lemonade at halftime
Just stand up and give the ref a handshake
And now and then a glance at your dad on the sideline
Or not, but still push on to the end
'Cause you'll become a winner through your mindset
Chorus 2
Saturday morning
As he walks there
Then I'll let him go 'cause he looks like me
In disbelief I stand on the sideline
How big he's getting
Little boys who act like pros
Want it at all costs
Lemonade for the thirst
They're 3–0 down and still behave
And that's what makes those boys pros
Lemonade for the thirst
Verse 2
I'm proud of your stunts and your moves
But above all your fighting spirit and your passion
And such a dive is a bit overdone and kinda cute
And you know very well yourself, it's not allowed
But just enjoy, boy, it'll be fine, really
You've turned into a friendly lad
Sometimes a brat and sometimes a champion
With the ball at his foot
Chorus 3
Saturday morning
As he walks there
Shoots, my little boy
My little boy
Chorus 3
Just wide of the goal
Bridge
Little boys who act like pros
Regularly do something dumb
Little boy, you'll probably fly out of the bend a few more times
But your big brother's proud of you
Du-du-ru-du-ru
Chorus 4
Little boys who act like pros
Want it at all costs
Lemonade for the thirst
They're 3–0 down and still behave
And that's what makes those boys pros
Lemonade for the thirst

SONG MEANING

Saturday morning, the soccer field is buzzing. Snelle paints a heart-warming picture of watching his little brother (or son) chase a ball that seems almost bigger than he is. The kids run, trip, fake fouls and keep playing, all for the ultimate half-time reward: limonade in a flimsy plastic cup. Behind the playful snapshots hides a bigger message about growing up—showing sportsmanship even when you are 3-0 behind, learning to get back up after mistakes and discovering that true winners are made by mindset, not medals.

Pride, nostalgia and a splash of sugar. As the narrator beams from the sidelines, he sees his own younger self in the boy’s determination and mischief. Every cheeky dive, every missed shot and every sip of lemonade is a step toward becoming a “prof,” a real pro, in life as well as on the pitch. The song turns a simple youth-league match into a celebration of family bonds, resilience and the sweet taste of childhood victories.
