  • Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    Onward, onward rode the six hundred
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Down the valley on their horses they thundered
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Ah, but was it them who really blundered?
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Uh-huh, it was the Manfreds

    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    The Trojans waited at the gate for weeks
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Then in a wooden horse into the city they sneaked
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Who let 'em in? Was it the Greeks?
    (Five, four, three, two, one)
    Uh-huh, it was the Manfreds

    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one

    Five, four, three, two, one
    Five, four, three, two, one
    Uh-huh, it was the Manfreds

  • Paul Jones from GuildfordYour lyrics for 5,4,3,2,1 are wrong in several places. I know - I am the author.
  • Gethyn from UkManfred Mann fans might be interested in a new single produced by Mike Hugg - it's called Ozone by RedLipZ and is a song about his hometown, Gosport in Hampshire. It's a great feelgood 'up' song - check it out on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4einBRI3zjc or ozonesong.com
