We Built This City (Lyrics)
Originally sang by Jefferson Starship and altered for the 49ers Golden Gala. The words and the song don't exactly match up perfectly, but you'll still be able to follow along.
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We Built this city for the Super Bowl
PAUSE
Here's another champion
The champion by the bay
The best of the best
Number one in the west
Whenever they come to play
The whole world is watching
To see what they will do
The greatest team
In the NFL
Five times they've shown it's true
Chorus
The people of San Francisco
The players of the red and gold
We're talking NFL
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl
PAUSE
It started in the 80's
At Super Bowl 16
Few years later in 1984
They still had the number one team
Then they got it going
In 1988
That was the year
The Niners made it clear
They were truely great
Chorus
The people of San Francisco
The players of the red and gold
We're talking NFL
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl
PAUSE
The team of the decade
But the Niners wanted more
Climbed to the top
And battled 'till they got
Trophy number four
But the game is never over
And the Niners stayed alive
Working as a team
They got their dream
Super Bowl number five
Chorus
The people of San Francisco
The players of the red and gold
We're talking NFL
We built this city
The people of San Francisco
The players of the red and gold
We're talking NFL
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl
We built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We built this city for the Super Bowl...
'Built this city
We built this city for the Super Booooowl
