lyrics

Well it's all nearly over, it's been bloody GRATE
I've enjoyed it even though we only made the last eight
Unlike Wimbledon it's watchable without having to shout for Tim
But when Alan, Gary, Motty and Ian Wright go home
We'll be left with disappointment cos we'll always know
That there's one trophy that we'd hoped for that we thought that we were going to win

They gave the Fairplay Trophy to the Dutch
But UEFA made an error in their judgement as I see it because
Dick Advacaat said "No Thank you very much"
Which I don't think's very sporting, no, they should have given it to us

Well there's been a lot to love since we were mugged by France
Like Collina's smiling face and Phil Scolari's dance
Rooney running down the middle and Bobby Robson getting all confused (come on lad, what are you going to do?)
Maniche scoring from the corner and poor Italy
The Czechs against the Dutch, the French losing to Greece
Now my evenings will be free and I don't know what I am going to do

Don't make me watch Big Brother yet again
Don't make me try to watch the cricket and pretend I even care who wins
The Olympics will not be the same
But we'll watch the synchrosed swimming with a pint and a cheesy grin

Here's my prediction for tonight
Nuno Gomes will turn out to be Milan Baros in disguise
The winners' gonna win it in the final minute of the night
And the first half will be... not as good as the second

Give us the Fair Play Trophy once again
Cos it's the team that's the nicest that's the one that actually wins
Give us the fair play trophy once again
And we'll face the final in the pub with a pint and a cheesy grin
We'll face the final in the pub confused by the Portugese cameramen with a cheesy grin
