All the England football chants you need to know before the Euros 2024

Engerland!

The Euros 2024 is just around the corner, so it’s time to get our chants at the ready and cheer on our boys to bring it home.

Picture the scene…you’re in a beer garden, pint in hand, Harry Kane has just scored an excellent goal and everybody starts chanting but you simply don’t know the words.

Humiliation hits and you start to panic, how are our lads going to bring home the title if you can’t join the booming chorus of a simple chant? Pfft.

Do not worry, because we’ve pulled together a list of all the chants and songs that you might need to know when watching the Euros this summer.

So get the honey and lemon at the ready, because you’re voice is about to get a bit croaky after belting out all these banging tunes.

Three Lions (It’s Coming Home)

Come on, it’s an absolute classic. But if you’ve been living under a rock then here are the lyrics to this absolute banger which will no doubt become the soundtrack to our lives over the next few months.

“I think it’s bad news for the English game

We’re not creative enough, and we’re not positive enough

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

Everyone seems to know the score, they’ve seen it all before

They just know, they’re so sure

That England’s gonna throw it away, gonna blow it away

But I know they can play, ‘cause I remember

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

So many jokes, so many sneers

But all those “Oh, so near”s wear you down through the years

But I still see that tackle by Moore and when Lineker scored

Bobby belting the ball, and Nobby dancing

Three lions on a shirt

Jules Rimet still gleaming

Thirty years of hurt

Never stopped me dreaming

England have done it, in the last minute of extra time!

What a save, Gordon Banks!

Good old England, England that couldn’t play football!

England have got it in the bag!

I know that was then, but it could be again

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 (England have done it!)

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) Three lions on a shirt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Jules Rimet still gleaming

Football’s coming home

(It’s coming home) Thirty years of hurt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Never stopped me dreaming

Football’s coming home

(It’s coming home) Three lions on a shirt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Jules Rimet still gleaming

Football’s coming home

(It’s coming home) Thirty years of hurt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Never stopped me dreaming

Football’s coming home

(It’s coming home) Three lions on a shirt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Jules Rimet still gleaming

Football’s coming home

(It’s coming home) Thirty years of hurt

(It’s coming home, it’s coming) Never stopped me dreaming

Football’s coming home”

Southgate You’re The One

Parading the pitch in his beautiful waistcoat, Mr Southgate most definitely deserves a song all to himself. And what better than the gorgeous melody of Atomic Kitten to do so?

“If you see me walking down the street

Staring at the sky

And dragging my two feet

You just pass me by

It still makes me cry

But football’s coming home again

And if you see me in the stands

I’m laughing and I’m joking

Doing what I can

I won’t put you down

‘Cause I want you around

Football’s coming home again

Looking back on when we first met

I cannot escape and I cannot forget

Southgate, you’re the one – you still turn me on

Football’s coming home again

Time is laying heavy on my heart

Seems I’ve got too much of it

Since we’ve been apart

My friends make me smile

If only for a while

Football’s coming home again

Looking back on when we first met

I cannot escape and I cannot forget

Southgate, you’re the one – you still turn me on

Football’s coming home again

For now I have to wait

But this is our time

It is our fate

‘Cause I just can’t go on

It’s already been too long

Football’s coming home again

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Looking back on when we first met

I cannot escape and I cannot forget

Southgate, you’re the one – you still turn me on

Football’s coming home again

Oh, oh, oh

Looking back on when we first met

I cannot escape and I cannot forget

Southgate, you’re the one – you still turn me on

Football’s coming home again

Southgate, you’re the one – you still turn me on

Football’s coming home again

Sweet Caroline

A classic at karaoke and on the football pitch, you probably already know the lyrics to this one but we’ll remind you of them anyway.

“Where it began, I can’t begin to knowing

But then I know it’s growing strong

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who’d have believed you’d come along

Hands, touching hands

Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I’ve been inclined

To believe they never would

But now I

Look at the night and it don’t seem so lonely

We filled it up with only two

And when I hurt

Hurting runs off my shoulders

How can I hurt when holding you

One, touching one

Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

I’ve been inclined

To believe they never would

Oh no, no

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good

Sweet Caroline

I believe they never could

Sweet Caroline

Good times never seemed so good”

Don’t Take Me Home

Set to the tune of Billy Ray Cyrus’ Achy Breaky Heart, this is a short but sweet song to plead the lads to stay in the tournament for as long as possible.

“Don’t take me home,

Please don’t take me home

I just don’t want to go home

I wanna stay here, drink all your beer

Please don’t, please don’t take me home”

Vindaloo

Written by British band Fat Les, if you can’t remember the lyrics to this one then we you’ve got no hope.

“Where on earth are you from?

We’re from England

Where you come from

Do you put the kettle on?

Kick it

Nah nah nah

Engerland

This one is exactly what it says on the tin to be honest, just chant the word “Engerland” to the melody and you’re in for a winner.

We’re On The Ball

Enter Ant & Dec with their football song released ahead of the 2002 World Cup, those boys really can do everything can’t they?

“They thought it was all over but it’s only just begun

The cup of eastern promise in the land of the rising sun

Seemed a million miles away and one thing’s for sure

The talk begins of 66 ’cause we haven’t found a cure

Send an SOS, a country’s in need

Sven’s the man, he’s got a plan, we’ve found a super Swede

A nation re-united and England comes alive

Golden balls is captain and Heskey makes it five

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

Red, white and blue, the colors, the whole world in our hands

The time has come to kick it, can we kick it? Yes, we can

Sven’s army marching forward, hear three lions roar?

We’re England forever, now altogether, we’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

We’re on the ball

Over the wall, and into the net! David Beckham has done it!

What do you think of the song Motty?

Oh fantastic song

Is it gonna be a hit?

Yes it is!

Cambell to Rio, he’s in the middle

It’s Neville to Cambell (we’re on the ball)

Cambell to Rio (we’re on the ball)

Rio to Scholesy (we’re on the ball)

Scholesy Gerrard (we’re on the ball)

Gerrard to Beckham (we’re on the ball)

Beckham to Heskey (we’re on the ball)

Heskey to Owen, to Nodd (five one)

(We’re on the ball)

It’s Neville to Cambell (we’re on the ball)

Cambell to Rio (we’re on the ball)

Rio to Scolsey (we’re on the ball)

Scolsey Gerrard (we’re on the ball)

Gerrard to Beckham (we’re on the ball)

Beckham to Heskey (we’re on the ball)

Heskey to Owen to Nodd (five one)

(We’re on the ball)

It’s Neville to Cambell (let’s go to Cambell please)

Cambell to Rio (he always get the journey)

Rio to Scolsey (we’re on the ball)

Scolsey Gerrard

Gerrard to Beckham (we’re on the ball)

Beckham to Heskey (we’re on the ball)

Heskey to Owen to Nodd

We’re on the ball”

We Love You England

Again, not much to say about this one. It’s basically just saying how much we love England.

“England till I die,

I’m England till I die,

I know I am I’m sure I am,

I’m England till i die”
