I saw him on the pitch down at Stamford Bridge
Where they punch you in the face, and what you spit out is a molar
M-O-L-A mola

I saw a little wizard who was dribbling the ball
I asked for his name and fifty thousand guys shouted "Zola"
Z-O-L-A Zola, Gianfranco Zola

Well, I'm not the world's biggest Chelsea fan
But when he went past defenders, I though Wow! that's some man
He is Zola, Gianfranco Zola, Gianfranco Zola

Well, I'm not young, and he looks rather old
But I've never seen a football so perfectly controlled
As by Zola, Gianfranco Zola, Gianfranco Zola

Well, I watched the game and he played alright
Everyone say he's gonna score tonight
Then he went past one player, then past two more
The crowd roared "It's Zola and he's going to score!"

Well, I'm not the world's biggest footballing fan
But what I can't do, I like watching guys who can
Such as Zola, Gianfranco Zola, Gianfranco Zola

Then he was cut down, just about to score
He fell to the floor, clutching his knee
We all shouted for the referee
And when the whistle blew, he was up real quick
Lining up for a speedy freekick, it was Zola
Gianfranco Zola

The ball sped over and the way it curled
It must have been the best freekick seen in this world
By Zola. Gianfranco Zola. Gianfranco Zola.

Well I thought he'd retired many years ago
And I'd never seen him playing football before
Zola smiled and he raised his hand
As the crowd erupted - ee, ain't it grand

Well I'm not the world's biggest footballing fan
But I know what I am and I'm a Chelsea man
'Cause of Zola.
Gianfranco Zola. Gianfranco Zola.
