Lonnie Donegan - World Cup Willie lyrics

There's a football fellah, you all know his name And the papers tell us he's in the Hall of Fame Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage 'Cause he's the new sensation of the age Dressed in red, white and blue, he's World Cup Willie We all love him too, World Cup Willie He's tough as a lion and never will give up That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup Well, we're all football crazy and it's plain to see That we're all so happy, like one big family Now we've found someone who makes the rafters ring Welcome to a brand new soccer King All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup Willie We all love him too, World Cup Willie He's tough as a lion and never will give up That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup Yes! Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup All the fans are waiting, how they'll spur him on And those sixty nations will soon know Willie's song Wherever he goes, he'll be all the rage 'Cause he's the new sensation of the age All dressed in red, white and blue, that's World Cup Willie We all love him too, World Cup Willie He's tough as a lion and never will give up That's why Willie is fav'rite for the Cup Ev'rybody! Willie, yes Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup One more time! Willie, Willie, he's evry'body's fav'rite for the Cup
