Me and Bobby Moore

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 They were Roger Hunt and Charlie George
Georgie Best and Denis Law
Bobby Charlton Johnny Haynes
But I was always
Bobby Moore

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 They copied Norman Hunter Billy Bremner
Just Fontaine and Pele scored
Rivelino Puskas Yashin Zoff
But me I copied
Bobby Moore

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 They came as Kopa, Muller, Johnny Rep
Like Cantona they’d charm the ball
Sanchez, Milla, Aldo, Pearce
But me I came as
Bobby Moore

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 They sang for Gazza, Robbo, Lineker
Terrace chants sung by the score
And whilst they sang for those 3 Lions
I would sing for
Bobby Moore

Kenny’s 7 and Shankly’s 4
The 9 of *RAF not for me
The blessed 6 of
Bobby Moore

Matthews blows through Heaven’s Door
Gerrard Rooney Henry now
But me I still love
Bobby Moore.
