Flagged by Jairzinho
Muller’s record was shattered
By the lad from Ribeiro

Samba flicks and tricks to the full
Grace of a refined ballerina
Weight and power of a stomping bull

Robson nurtured Ronaldo
Starring for both Milan giants
At Real a Galactico

Hang the boots and take a stroll
On the golden Copacabana
