Just Fontaine Garrincha scored
Eusebio Puskas Yashin Zoff
But me I copied

Like Cantona they’d charm the ball
Sanchez, Milla, Aldo, Cruyff
But me I came as
Bobby Moore

Duncan Edwards Busby’s law
Whilst others read the word of God
I would read of

And whilst they sang for those 3 Lions
I would sing for

The 10 of Pele not for me
The blessed 6 of

And whilst they dreamed sweet dreams of Zico
I would dream of

Gerrard Rooney Henry now
But me I still love
