Osgood Was Good

he was an icon in sun and in rain
the back of The Shed we just sang out his name
great in the air strong on the ground
"Osgood Is Good" that was the sound

Raquel Welch waving on that old touch-line
Steve McQueen and a bottle of wine
Terence Stamp 'Hutchie'  the Beatles The Stones
sure is amazing how football's grown

took us into Europe took us to the top
took us up to Wembley saved us from the drop
never won that much did as they please
but they were the Boys of the Seventies

still felt the awe when Ossie was around
taking new fans on the Tour Of The Ground
and back in October he was stood by my side
we were watching Bolton getting tanned like a hide

still had the power still  had the smile
still had charisma still had  the style
Kings Road Fulham Road in restaurant and bar
raise your glasses  to a true superstar

Ossie was a legend Ossie was a Blue
Ossie was Chesea through and through
Ossie was the king he was our Best
Osgood Was Good long may he rest
