Leeds United Calypso
Leeds - Leeds - Leeds .... (10 times)
Leeds United calypso
Leeds United calypso
I feel so happy I feel so fine
The Elland Road lads are pals of mine (a-ha)
Now everybody come along with me
To Elland Road and sing joyfully
A lot of happy footballers you will see
The pride of the directors and Don Revie
It's the Leeds United calypso (sing it now)
Leeds United calypso
I feel so happy I feel so fine
The lads at Elland Road are pals of mine (a-ha)
Now matches have come and matches have gone
And at last we're happy in division one
Instead of the Mersey and Liverpool sound
We've got a special noise at the Elland Road ground
(Leeds - Leeds - Leeds...
is repeated throughout this chorus
in the backing)
It's the Leeds United calypso
Leeds United calypso
I feel so happy I feel so fine
The lads at Elland Road are buddies of mine (a-ha)
We've got Englishmen and Irishmen and Scotchmen, too
And our goallie called Sprake from Wales mark you
Albert Johanson is one of the few
I don't know where he comes from, but I think it's Timbuctoo
It's the Leeds United calypso (sing it now)
Leeds United calypso
I feel so happy I feel so fine
The lads at Elland Road are mates of mine (a-ha)
Now all the Leeds supporters are feeling grand
They're also very happy in Sunderland
Records have been broken for all to see
So buy this record from the lads and me
It's called the Leeds United calypso (buy it now)
Leeds United calypso
I feel so happy I feel so fine
The lads at Elland Road are pals of mine
Leeds - Leeds - Leeds .......

This is the first ever Leeds United song made into a record. Brought out
after Leeds were promoted to division one in 1964. West Indian music and Calypso rhythms is the unlikely
basis for this Leeds United oldie but it was meant to reflect the attitude of the club at the time, being
happy to be in division one. Written and performed by Ronnie Hilton.
