47 years ago todayYou've heard of Notts Forest, of Arsenal as well
And tales of Manchester City they tell
But the team to remember when ever you recall
Is Manchester United, the best team of all
We went down to Wembley one fine day in May,
United supporters so loyal, so gay,
And when it was over, and when it was done,
We'd beaten Benfica by four goals to one.
The first was by Bobby, he out-jumped the rest,
The second was scored by wee Georgie Best,
The crowd they all chanted, well I never did,
And the third one was scored by a young Brian Kidd.
The crowd were all singing for they wanted more,
Then Bobby obliged by making it four,
A night to remember, a team to recall,
The great Man United, the greatest of all.
