The Lyrics by
Jonnie Enright and Jason Brown
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
England’s football glory is flying again,
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
The Cross of St. George is flying again
Dark clouds over,
the white cliffs of Dover,
Rolls Royce engines, Fly in any storm
Just as England flew in 1966,
English fans are singing, ‘we’ll provide the fix’
Onwards The Few,
Onwards The Few,
England’s football glory is flying again,
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
The Cross of St. George is flying again
Frank Lampard, Gary Neville, John Terry,
Ashley Cole,
England sings, Providing wings, help Robinson in goal,
As Squadron Leader Beckham, has ordered choc's away,
Our chanting is the magic so The Few will win the day
Owen is the ace,
The pride of the English race,
Our man Wayne Rooney, is a one man hurricane!
Onwards The Few,
Onwards The Few,
England’s football glory is flying again,
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
The Cross of St. George is flying again
Never before, on
football’s field of glory,
Has so much been given to so many by so few,
Now Gerrard, Cole and King, Old Englands merry men,
Will fly the world cup home, Over white cliffs once again
Onwards The Few,
Onwards The Few,
England’s football glory is flying again,
Onwards The Few, Onwards The Few,
The Cross of St. George is flying again |

Notes
Get ready for 'ONLY FOOLS AND ENGLAND' released on 12th June 2006 and set
to the theme tune of the multi award winning BBC TV show 'Only Fools and
Horses'. 'ONLY FOOLS AND ENGLAND' is the brainchild of John Matthews,
lead singer with 90’s band Undercover who scored two huge top five hits in
1992, (BAKER STREET - chart position No. 2 which subsequently went on to
sell over a million copies world-wide and NEVER LET HER SLIP AWAY - chart
position No. 5) whilst signed to Pete Waterman’s
"PWL." record label.
John Matthews, (who along with "Wayne Rooney" is a complete 'Only Fools
and Horses' fan), Wayne mentions sitting in on a Saturday night with
Colleen, pizza and a DVD of Only Fools and Horses in his up and coming
book!!!, came up with the unique plan of turning the theme tune to the UK's
best loved sitcom, into the people's football song.
Choosing from a list of all the influential managers and players from past
and present, John replaced the lyrics to the theme tune of 'Only Fools
and Horses' as the new lyrics state "black or white, rich or poor, we’ll go
mad when England score".
The writer and creator of "Only Fools and Horses" - John Sullivan, was
contacted via his agent and a meeting was arranged to discuss the
possibility of re-recording the song and changing the lyrics. John
Sullivan's agent was so impressed with it he immediately took it to
John Sullivan to play, and he loved it so much he gave his blessing and
permission for the track to be re-recorded and released.
'ONLY FOOLS AND ENGLAND' is a people's football song, a real sing-along
song, a true fans song, that you CAN sing on the terraces. So all
together now…………
Sing la la la la, Engerland la la, sing la la la la, Engerland la la
