Sing La La La La Eng-Er-Land La La,
Sing La La La La, Eng-Er-Land La La,
 
We've had Geoff Hurst, Nobby Stiles, Gordon Banks and Bobby Moore,
Gascoigne, Shearer, Stuart Pearce and Lineker,
Hoddle, Sir Alf Ramsey, Graham Taylor, Kevin Keegan,
Venables And Robson,
And now we've got Eriksson,
Sven Sven Sven Sven Sven Sven Sven Sven
  
Stick the tickets in me pocket,
I fetch the footballs from the van,
Cause if you want the best you can forget the rest
Cause David Beckham is your man.
 
We've been here before and its no mystery,
We always seem to get so far and then we lose on penalties,
But maybe this time Sven will make England click,
We’re gonna win the European Championship.
 
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
 
Scholesy, Gerrard and Beckham in midfield,
Rooney and Michael Owen in attack,
With David James in goal, Sol Campbell and Ashley Cole,
With John Terry, at the back.
 
We've been here before and its no mystery,
We always seem to get so far and then we lose on penalties,
But maybe this time Sven will make England click,
We’re gonna win the European Championship.
 
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
Sing La La La La Engerland La La
 
We've laid the ghost of Germany
So lets go down in history
Black or white, rich or poor
We'll go mad when England score
God bless England
Viva England
Long live England
 
Say Magnifique England, Magnifique, England, England,
 
repeat to fade...............................
Notes

UNDERCOVER 'VIVA ENGLAND'
It had to happen, someone's got hold of the theme tune to the UK's best loved sitcom - Only Fools And Horses (a national anthem of sorts anyway) - and transformed it into a footy anthem.

The man responsible is John Matthews, who with the blessing of scriptwriter John Sullivan, has changed the original lyrics to a list of all the influential English managers and players from over the years. So go on, take that 'pony' out of your pocket and support a choon that'll makes you proud to be English (ahem).  - MSN Entertainment
