The Lyrics by Jimmy Pursey; re-working of Hurry Up Harry by Sham 69

Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup

We’ve got a blinding team full of quality
Cole, Sol,Ferdinand and John Terry
It’s been forty years since Wembley
So let’s go and win it in Germany

Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup

Now listen here England
We’re gonna win the cup
Cos you know what you’re doing
So let’s just wrap it up
I wish you’d listen to me
We’ve got Gerrard, Lampard and Wayne Rooney

Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup

You’re lions you are England
Yes England’s who you are
There’ll be no great escape
There’ll be no bridge too far
So come on lads, sing with me
It’s all the way to Germany

Come on
(Instrumental)

Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
Come on, come on,
Hurry up England, come on
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup
We’re gonna win the cup

Notes

Punk singer Jimmy Pursey, formerly of Sham 69, is to record an alternative England World Cup song.  Hurry Up England, a reworking of his band's 1978 hit Hurry Up Harry, was chosen by Virgin Radio listeners as the station's rival to the official song.  All proceeds from sales of the single, chosen following a competition, will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust. - BBC Entertainment
