So now we are playing extra time
Anything can happen
We're all on edge.
Charlton comes close
And hits the post.

And then the goal
We still remember
The one the Germans
Can't forget.

Hurst's shot comes down
Off the bar
It strikes the ground
But the question is
Where ?!!
Did the ball
Ever cross the line?

Every Englishman's sure
Every German says no
Will we ever really know?

The referee he wasn't sure
But the Russian linesman
He said yes!
And to German grief
The goal was awarded.

The debate goes on
It has never ended
They're still debating
That goal today.

You couldn't move
For seeing pictures
Seen from all angles
To try and show
It didn't go over and wasn't
A goal.

But who can dispute
What the history books say?
3-2 to the English
With time to play.

So mounting hysteria
English joy
But let's move on
To the final act.
