Think of all the people
Not as fortunate as you
Some struggle to pay their way
When their bills are due
You turn up for a kick about
Feels like your heart’s not in it
Well from today please start to play
Then go on and win it
As role models you have a title
So please lead from the front
All our children in their schools
See you sometimes pulling stunts
The likes of Italy and Germany
As warm ups on our way
Italy 1- Nil a bitter pill
Are our kits starting to fray?
We are one proud nation
It’s where football began
Pull your socks up to take the Cup
Don’t settle as also-rans
England score a goal
So far it’s 2-1
At least a draw won’t leave us sore
Our kids are now having fun
All of a sudden it’s 2-2
Saka’s on with Mount
If they play this way the score will sway
Every second counts
I feel they must have heard us
Their hearts pump in their chests
Harry Kane through sun and rain
Just proved that we’re the best
To this end I pray
Our Lion Hearts can prevail….
Lift the Jules Rimay come final day
For our Queen we will not fail
