Then it was France
And 2-0 again
Hunt with both goals
To help England win and
In case you’ve not noticed
They’d not let one in.
Two wins and a draw
So England are through
But the Germans are talking
Of Franz Beckenbaur.
Elsewhere some surprises
The Brazilians are out
The favourites are ousted.
We’re in with a shout.
The Italians, God Bless them
Why they’ve gone home too
1-0 North Korea
They’ll have to lie low.
