1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 When I was just a little boy,
I asked my mother who I’d support.
Would it be Villa, Leeds or Man U?
Here is her proud retort:

Whatever will be will be.
You’re gonna be a Toffee,
Que sera sera.”

Whatever will be will be.

A Toff I’ll have to be.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Que sera sera,
Whatever will be will be.
A Bluenose too I shall be,
Que sera sera…”

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Lots of time now has passed since then,
Next year I shall be sixty-three.
And I’m still here, at this ripe age,
Chanting COYB.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Que sera sera,
Whatever will be will be.
A Toffee I’ll always be,
Que sera sera.
