Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim*
Hope for South Africa
The Portuguese have the best players
The Brasilians are pretty fast
The Spanish haven't lost in three years
But we have the finest hotel
Ronaldinho's got the best technique
C. Ronaldo has an angel face
David Beckham has got a foot of steel
Yet Jogi Löw has the nicest haircut
OoooHhhh!
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Gimme hope, Joachim for the Worldcup
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Hope for South Africa
The Koreans have nimble legs
The Mexicans have a high shooting power
The French have a good goalkeeper
But we have the biggest bus
The Danes refresh themselves with egg-white
The Serbs flog themselves to death
The Argentinians struggle through the jungle
Only Jogi spreads slices of bread with Nutella
OoooHhhh!
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Gimme hope, Joachim for the Worldcup
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Hope for South Africa
The Greeks are outsiders again
And Switzerland wins games short-handed
The Dutch are in for it again
But still Jogi will bring us the cup
OoooHhhh!
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Gimme hope, Joachim for the Worldcup
Gimme hope, Joachim, gimme hope, Joachim
Hope for South Africa
