five euros (part three)

FIVE EUROS (part 3) 1981

in a two year absence cloughie had won it twice, now all the players wanted bob to have it thrice
real madrid were the enemy as we rolled up in france,, three times winners? well we had a chance
the first half we huffed and puffed ,but didnt blow em down so we trudged off the pitch mostly wearing a scowl
nil nil at half time though we had had a chance, souness a good shot in the parc de princes
now bob was a quiet man but he knew we should have been winning, he knew that those spaniards were probably grinning
thinking weather their storm then hit em on the break, score a goal and history paisley wont make
ray kennedy took a throw in to his namesake al on the left, he danced passed the defender his shot was deft
the keeper saw it coming he did his up most ,thousands of scousers held their breath as it crept inside the post
one nil to liverpool eight minutes to go, hang on lads you can do it then watch that champagne flow
real had some chances it was a nervous affair, if only we could hang on a bit more nobody would care
we really should have scored more, three would have been about the par, but on a steamy night in paris it was the kop singing oo la la
finally the whistle we had done it once again , three times winners of old big ears madrid had been slain
and what of bob the gaffer now he;d won it thrice, a feat unmatched to this day and no knighhood to suffice
so the kop got on their planes and they returned to old blighty, safe in the knowledge that in europe liverpool were all mighty
