We've Won It Five Times

"We've Won It Five Times" is a football chant/song sung by supporters of Liverpool Football Club (to the tune of Sloop John B by The Beach Boys). The song rose to prominence after the club's victory in the 2005 Champions League; the fifth time they have won the European Cup, which allows them to keep the trophy.

Lyrics

:"We won it in Wembley
:"We won it in Gay Paris
:"In '77 and '84 it was Rome

:"We've won it four times, we've won it four times
:"In Istanbul we'll win it five times

:"We won it five times, we won it five times
:"In Istanbul we won it five times"

Original lyrics

The tune is not new to the Anfield faithful. A 1998 issue of Liverpool fanzine "Through the Wind and Rain" records similar lyrics:

:"We won it at Wemb er lee
:"we won it in Gay Paree
:"In 77 and 84 it was Rome

:"We've won it 4 times, we've won it 4 times
:"Galatasaray beat you, but we won it 4 times

:"The king was Bill Shankly, who handed it onto Paisley
:"He won it 3 and Joe Fagan won it as well

:"We've won it 4 times, we've won it 4 times
:"Barcelona beat you, but we won it 4 times

:"When Emlyn lifted it high, it lit up the Roman sky
:"Thommo in Paris and Souness in Rome did it too

:"We've won it 4 times, we've won it 4 times
:"Borussia beat you, but we won it 4 times

:"At Wembley we won it at home, we took 26,000 to Rome
:"And 20,000 in Paris when we won it again

:"We've won it 4 times, we've won it 4 times
:"Monaco beat you, but we won it 4 times"
