Lonnie Donegan - World Cup Willie Lyrics

Lyrics World Cup Willie - Lonnie Donegan



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
