Please be upstanding while we sing verses 2, 3 and 4

Vialli's merry Chelsea men, let nothing you dismay,
Remember 'Franco Zola was born* on Christmas day.
To save us all from scoreless draws when we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From Napoli in ninety six a bless-ed angel came,
And unto certain set peices brought legendary fame,
How that in Stamford Bridge we chant Gianfranco Zola's name.
O tidings of comfort and joy...

The winner, then, he scored it, in Stockholm on that night.
The Euro cup saw Zola score as only Zola might.
The Super Cup soon followed when we beat Real Madrid.
O tidings of comfort and joy...

Vialli's merry Chelsea men rejoic-ed much in mind,
And fed the ball to Zola as he ran down the line,
And let him take the set piece kicks, the back of nets to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy...

Now to Ken Bates send e-mails all you within this place,
To renew Zola's contract for next years Premiership race.
We need his skill, we want his style, we love his searing pace.
O tidings of comfort and joy...
