We've Won It Five Times
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"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.

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

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

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"
