The Lyrics by David Mackay & Ken Ashby,
additional lyrics by Jimmy Lawless; reworking of
That's Livin' Alright
Heading out tonight, to cheer the team
in white
That's England alright
Raise a glass to the boys, in a bar full of noise
That's England alright
Hear the roar, when the three lions score
We're gonna beat them all out of sight
And when we've played the game you'll remember our name
That's England alright
Football in the sun, we'll be there
having fun
That's England alright
From Frankfurt to Cologne, we'll make
ourselves at home
That's England alright
Playing with a smile, attacking in
style
and trying with all of our might
With a little luck, we could win the
World Cup
That's England alright
See the flag fly, Guten tag! Ola! Hi!
Yeah it's football that'll make us
unite
And they'll love our game, Frank to
David to Wayne
That's England alright
Yeah we'll play the game, til its Auf
Wiedersehen
That's England alright
Yeah we'll play the game, til its Auf
Wiedersehen
That's England alright
Football in the sun, we'll be there
having fun
That's England alright
From Frankfurt to Cologne, we'll make
ourselves at home
That's England alright
Playing with a smile, attacking in
style
and trying with all of our might
With a little luck, we could win the
World Cup
That's England alright
Yeah we'll play the game, til its Auf
Wiedersehen
That's England alright
It's been forty years, we've shed so
many tears
and now we're gonna get it right
and we'll never give up, til we've lifted that Cup
That's England alright
Yeah we'll play the game, til its
Auf Wiedersehen
That's England alright

Notes
Singer Joe Fagin has re-recorded his 1984 hit
That's Livin' Alright as an alternative World Cup football anthem. That's England Alright, a reworking of
the theme tune to Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, will be released on 22 May.
"It's a song that captures the spirit of the true England fan - whether they
are over in Germany, or watching it in the pub back home," said Fagin. - BBC
