I Think That We Can Win This Year's World Cup

Recent tournaments, alas, indeed,
have not gone quite as planned, we must concede.
Now Southgate’s got the tactics that we need,
and we are going to succeed, succeed.

Together let’s unite and all desire,
the English rose to bloom that little higher,
which should ensure the team goes to inspire,
and give the lion’s roar more fire, fire.

?Pre-Chorus
I think that we can win this year’s World Cup.
I hope it’s not a dream where I wake up.
For if we go and get some better luck,
we can make our rivals come unstuck,
and we can be the best team,
we could be the best team
of them all, all, all, all, all..

Chorus
We’re England, England,
Hawking, Pankhurst
and Bobby Moore.
England, England,
Harry Kane is bound to score.

We’re England, England,
Hawking, Pankhurst
and Bobby Moore.
England, England,
Jamie Vardy or
Harry Kane will score.

?
Everyone behave, on, off the pitch,
and make sure that the plans do not all glitch.
Show some pride, but also show respect,
and don’t do anything you will regret.

Pre-Chorus
I think that we can win this year’s World Cup.
I hope it's not a dream where I wake up.
For if we go and get some better luck,
We can make our rivals come unstuck,
and we can be the best team,
we could be the best team of them all, all, all, all, all..

Chorus
We’re England, England,
Daley Thompson
and Bobby Moore.
England, England,
Harry Kane is bound to score.

We’re England, England,
Southgate’s heroes
and Bobby Moore.
England, England,
Jamie Vardy
or Harry Kane will score.
