lyrics

Do you remember '66
There's someone on the pitch
Geoff Hurst brought world football back home

Skip forward by 24
Gazza laid out on the floor
years gone by but still nothing to show

And now we're here again
it's time to make amends
we're in Brazil, let's make our mark here

Chorus:
We're England
We're England
We're England
On Tour
We're England
We're England
We're England
On Tour

If it goes to penalties
It wont put us on our knees
been here too many times before

Back home and glued to your tv set
we're not through but we haven't lost yet
fingers crossed, eyes closed, we've still got faith

With the lions we've got pride
with the lions we'll turn the tide
Eleven warriors with no more fear

<Chorus>

We don't care if we do not win
As long as the lads put the effort in
we'll sing it loud, and we'll sing it proud
once again

<Chorus>
