Lyrics:
He's got a cultured left boot
It can dribble and shoot,
Or whip in a cross that makes fullbacks' hearts skip a beat
And raises your bum right up from its seat
The rest of him's dross
But we don't give a toss
Because he's got a cultured left foot
He's got a cultured left foot
How else can it be put?
When it's in a groove
It visits the Louvre
And then reads Voltaire or Gustav Flaubert,
Not forgetting Monsieur Moliere
Because he's got a cultured left foot
He's got a cultured left boot
That keeps time to the Magic Flute
It dribbles like Pele
And then goes to the ballet
While defenders chance--to halt its advance
They soon find themselves in a trance
Because he's got a cultured left foot
It can curl a free kick
With swerve, power and dip
Over the wall like little jack horner
Back down again and in the top corner
He can bend it like Beckham
Or finessi like Messi
He can do it at Good-is-son
Or in Nap-o-li
And his right wasn't bad
When he was a lad
But it's frankly a little uncouth
The result of a misspent youth
That never saw Oxford or the Sorbonne
But the point is really quiet moot
Because of a cultured left boot.
Left, Left, Left, Left
Left foot, left boot, left foot, left boot, etc.
Yeah, he's got a cultured left foot.
Yes! He's got a cultured left foot, etc.
