“We Won It Five Times” counts off Liverpool’s first five European Cup wins: Rome in 1977, Wembley in 1978, Paris in 1981, Rome again in 1984, and the Miracle of Istanbul in 2005. The lyrics drop in the names of the players who lifted those trophies along the way: Emlyn Hughes, Phil Thompson, Graeme Souness and Steven Gerrard.
We won it at Wem-ber-ly
We’ won it in Gay Paris
In 77 and ’84 it was Rome
We’ve won it five times
We’ve won it five ti-i-imes
In Istanbul, we won it five times
When Emlyn lifted it high
He lit up the Roman sky
Thommo in Paris and Souness did it as well
We’ve won it five times
We’ve won it 5 ti-i-imes
In Istanbul, we won it five times
At Wembley we won it at home
Took 26,000 to Rome
20,000 to Paris when we won it again
We’ve won it five times
We’ve won it five ti-i-imes
In Istanbul, we won it five times
Stevie G’s eyes lit up
As he lifted the European Cup
21 years and now its coming back home
We’ve won it five times
We’ve won it five ti-i-imes
In Istanbul, we won it five times!
