We've Won It Five Times
"We've Won It Five Times" is a football chant/song sung by supporters of Liverpool Football Club (to the tune of Sloop John B by The Beach Boys). The song rose to prominence after the club's victory in the 2005 Champions League; the fifth time they have won the European Cup, which allows them to keep the trophy.
