It was in Mexico in nineteen eighty six
When English hearts sank to the floor
When England were to meet Argentina
In the world cup quarterfinal draw
On that infamous night it occurred
The event that made the spectators roar
Diego Maradonna their great player
Had to use his hand to help them score
The English players protested in vain
That Maradonna had used his hand
Amazingly the referee gave the goal
Something that I still don't understand
There was much discussion with the pundits
The video replay confirmed the cheating
Ironically his second goal was brilliant
And sealed the result of our defeating
Maradonna used a hand to help him score
But Diego claimed it was the hand of god
Argentina believe he is a national hero
The English all know he's a cheating sod
