Lonnie Donegan Lonnie Donegan - World Cup Willie

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

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

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

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

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

One more time
Willie, Willie
He's everybody's favourite for the Cup
