World Cup Rhythms

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I have jigged with Nobby Stiles
Reflected Bobby Moore’s blue eyes
Been held as gold in Pele’s hands
And once was saved by Gordon Banks

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 With Garrincha I tango’d
Sweden England Mexico

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 I’ve danced beneath exotic skies
And wiped the tears from Brazil’s eyes
A million prayers have used my name
Golden Nike for the Beautiful Game

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Nasazzi, Meeaza, Combi thrilled
Varela Walter honed with skill

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 World hearts have quickened to my beat
For me God blessed Zagalo’s feet
So mirror, mirror tells us then
The finest? “Carlos Alberto’s men”.
