Baddiel, Skinner And The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions (It's Coming Home for Christmas)

"Isn't it character, and heart?
And motivation as well"

(It's coming home)
(It's coming)
(Football's coming home)
(It's coming home)
(It's coming home)
(It's coming)
(Football's coming home)

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home

Loving that Lionesses win
But thoughts of last year's final kick in
And Moscow
And Turin
The blokes seem cursed
Whatever they try
And I think I know why
They're just jinxed in July

But it's December

Three Lions on a sleigh
With She-Lion's inspiration
Santa says let's play
The Christmas tree formation

When they decided on Qatar
Should have checked VAR
It's too hot
And too far

So we'll be
Snowflakes watching it here
This is our time of year
We'll be having a beer

"Actually, I won't because I've got alcohol issues"

Three Lions on a sleigh
Yule Rimet still gleaming
A football Christmas song
Not at all demeaning

What a cracker of a game
England are giving them a real good stuffing
Ding Dong Merrily on Sky
Oh no it's not on Sky
It has to be on terrestrial doesn't it
For legal reasons

All I want's the World Cup
Don't bother wrapping it up

It's coming home
For Christmas
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
For Christmas
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
For Christmas
Football's coming home

It's coming home
It's coming home
For Christmas
Football's coming home

It's coming home

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Fifty six years of hurt
(For the men's game)
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Twenty weeks of hurt
(For the women's game, obviously)
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
(It's England!)
Several years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Quite a lot of years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
