Top Of The World (Ole, Ole, Ole) Lyrics

Words on a postcard from far away
spoke of a time long ago.
Laughed ourselves daft on that saturday,
singing here we go.

I'm a taxi driver.
I'm a postal worker.
I'm an office cleaner.
I'm a striking docker.
I'm a ballet dancer.
I'm a Zapitista.
I'm a pop singer.

I'm a winner.

I'm a winner, baby.
I'm a winner, baby.

Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.

I'm a brick layer.
I'm an ex-miner.
I'm a single mother.
I'm a bus driver.
I'm political prisoner.
I'm a print worker.
I'm a footballer.

I'm a winner.

I'm a winner, baby.
I'm a winner, baby.

Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.

Words on a postcard from far away
spoke of a time long ago.
Laughed ourselves daft on that Saturday,
singing here we go.

Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
(On top, on top, I'm on top of the world.)
Ole, ole, ole, ole.
Top of the world,
I'm on top of the world.
(On top, on top, I'm on top of the world.)

Cover art for Top Of The World (Ole, Ole, Ole) lyrics by Chumbawamba

They started playing this in the shop I worked at as the World Cup neared... I had never heard it before, but automatically recognised the way the trumpets were and the voices. I am unsure if they betrayed themselves and recorded a deliberately commercial song, or if it was a complete piss-take.
