Intro
Beckham's red card, Ronaldinho's lob
The flight of the ball guided by the Hand of God
England's cup dreams shattered down the years
Ronaldo's wink and Gazza's tears...

Verse 1
Our national dish is curry, washed down with warm flat beer
We talk about the weather cos it's always raining here
With curtains shut and the TV on, we'll cheer our football side
In every pub, forget your club and sing this song with pride

Chorus
Wave a flag of red and white, we are En-ger-land!
We're skilful, courageous, we're never giving up
So get yourselves behind the lads, we're gonna win the cup!

Verse 2
Across the world they mock us, and laugh at what they see
Us bowler-hatted city gents, politely sipping tea
Through flame and smoke and blood and sweat, this land of ours evolved
Eleven men of grit and iron resolve can beat them all

Chorus
Wave a flag of red and white, we are En-ger-land!
We're skilful, courageous, we're never giving up
So get yourselves behind the lads, we're gonna win the cup!

Bridge
It's near the final whistle and we can hardly breathe
A nation poised in silence as it goes to penalties

"Please, let it be this time..."

Chorus
Wave a flag of red and white, we are En-ger-land!
We're skilful, courageous, we're never giving up
So get yourselves behind the lads, we're gonna win the cup!

(repeat chorus twice more)

"England!"
