[Spoken intro: Journalist]
...character and heart, and motivation as well

[Refrain: Lionesses]
It's coming home, it's coming
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, football's coming home

[Refrain: Baddiel & Skinner]
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home
It's coming, football's coming home

[Verse 1: Skinner, Baddiel & Skinner]
Loving that Lionesses win
But thoughts of last year's final kick-in
And Moscow, and Turin
The bloke seems cursed whatever they try
And I think I know why
They're just jinxed in July
But it's December
[Chorus: Baddiel & Skinner]
Three lions on a sleigh
With She-Lions inspiration
Santa says, "Let's play
The Christmas tree formation"

[Verse 2: Baddiel, Baddiel & Skinner, Skinner]
When they decidеd on Qatar
Should have checked VAR
It's too hot, and too far
So wе'll be snowflakes watching it here
This is our time of year
We'll be having a beer
(Actually, I won't, 'cos I've got alcohol issues)

[Chorus: Baddiel & Skinner]
Three lions on a sleigh
Yule Rime still gleaming
A football Christmas song
Not at all demeaning

[Bridge: Commentator, Baddiel & Skinner]
What a cracker of a game
England are giving them a real good stuffing
Ding-dong-merrily on Sky
...Oh no, it's not Sky, it has to be on terrestrial, doesn't it?
For legal reasons
All I want's the World Cup
Don't bother wrapping it up
[Refrain: Choir, Choir and Baddiel & Skinner]
It's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home
It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home

[Chorus: Baddiel & Skinner, Skinner, Baddiel]
(It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home)
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
56 years of hurt (For the men's game)
Never stopped me dreaming
(It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home)
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
Twenty weeks of hurt (For the women's game, obviously)
Never stopped me dreaming
(It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home)
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
Several years of hurt (It's England!)
(It's coming home, it's coming home for Christmas
Football's coming home)
Three Lions on a shirt, Jules Rimet still gleaming
Quite a lot of years of hurt never stopped me dreaming
