Boy, 1978
Mm, the World Cup, and what it means to me
It's all about sportsmanship, as it should be
For me it goes away back to 1978
Aged younger than I'm now, but boy! I couldn't wait
To see my footballing hero that I'd read about in Shoot Magazine
Imaging as I read the paragraphs to be him was just a dream
Like him I was left footed and useless with my right
But boy, when I played my left was my write
From teens to growing older after said watching dreams
I'm so so much older watching their wilting realms
Mm, the World Cup, and what it means to me
It's all about sportsmanship, and what it did for me
