3 Lions Cheated
I remember
Campbell had scored
'98 and 04'
would have beat Portugal
or the Argies before,
and then Lampard's was cruel
would have made it 2 all
but the goal's over ruled
finished 1 goal to 4
Maradona's hand ball
later scoring once more,
Penalties were not scored
England beaten by draws
90 was the first
96 still hurts
98 was the third
knocked out unbeaten
then 06 and 04
penalties, Portugal,
losing 5 games through draws
could have been so much more
we were unbeatable
and I remember
Beckham v Greece
beating German's was sweet
oh that 5-1 defeat
and thrashing Holland
3 Lions on a shirt
England still believing
5 decades of hurt
but soon we'll be unbeaten
Paris, Berlin, Madrid and Rome
surely football's coming home
