Once there was this kid from Brazil
He had an abundance of skills
But the world said you should stay still
You're in a league that's run of the mill
He was blessed with pace and flair
He played like he just didn't care
Defenders never had a prayer
And every week he changed his hair
Each game Santos supporters sang songs
But very soon they knew he'd be gone
Neymar in Europe you belong
They'd say but wished that they were wrong
His summer was full of celebrations
He lit up the Confederations
Now he's famous in every nation
Neymar, you're a star in the making
But the question surrounds Neymar
Is he going to be a star?
The boy from Brazil has come so far
But the next step it will be hard
Leaving home to follow your heart
Are we keen for you to be the best Neymar
Yes we are
Oh Neymar
He gave every Santos fan a boner
Every time he did a rabona
But he had some chats with the owner
Now he's going to Barcelona
And he's in for a real test, a
Team with Messi and Iniesta
Chance to prove he's not just a jester
If he works hard, time for fiesta
But the question surrounds Neymar
Is he going to be a star?
The boy from Brazil has come so far
But the next step it will be hard
Leaving home to follow your heart
Are we keen for you to be the best Neymar
Yes we are
Oh Neymar
