World Cup Willie lyrics

There's a football fellow

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

[Chorus:]

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 favourite for the Cup

Willie, Willie

He's everybody's favourite 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

One more time

Willie, Willie

He's everybody's favourite for the Cup
