lyrics

Sing Capello, sing…
On the road to the World cup…

You'll hear us saying'...
Forty four years have passed
Since we won the world cup last
This time must be our chance
Wayne Rooney can't fail, no no

We're cheering...
I wear three lions on my shirt
Jules Rimet; it still hurts
Do it for Banks, Moore and Hurst
Our Rooney can't fail, no no

We're off to the world cup to really shake things up
So make us proud again (you know)
We've got what it takes, so don't make no mistake
Rooney can't fail

Aaron Lennon how'd you get so speedy
David James your hair is so freaky
RoboCrouch you're so weedy,
Rooney can't fail

John Terry makes a tackle
Pass it on to Ashley cole
What a ball! He's through on goal!
Now Rooney can't fail

We're off to the world cup to really shake things up
So make us proud again (you know)
We've got what it takes, so don't make no mistake
Rooney can't fail

Ok, you know we're gonna win today

We're looking pretty good with our heads held high
Yeah you know why
We're looking pretty good with our heads held high
Yeah you know why

Rooney can't fail
Rooney can't fail

*REPEAT TIL END*
