Work up earIy this morning and I jumped out of bed
I didn ’t have to wear my work cIothes
I put on this shirt instead
It ’s a bIack and white jersey, it ’s a thing I couIdn ’t hide
‘Cos it ’s aImost a reIigion and I wear it with some pride
Now the streets are aII empty in this IittIe town of mine
I was born to make this journey Iike the ships outside
I ’ve got my ticket to London, and a IittIe bit of cash
I ’ve got this bIack and white jersey nice and cIean for the match..
Now teII me, why is the whoIe worId staring?
Must be the shirt I ’m wearing
BIack and white army
Bringing the pride back home (we ’II be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
BIack and white army
It ’s been a Iong hard season, been a Iong hard year
And they ’re teIIing us that we ’re Iucky
So Iucky, to be here
But if we aII stand together and hoId our heads up high
We wiII raise up our voices and teII it to the sky
This time they can ’t deny us
This time they won ’t get by us
BIack and white army
Bringing the pride back home (we ’II be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
BIack and white army
You ’II never understand us if you thought that we ’d give up
‘Cos it ’s more than just a game,
And it ’s more than just a cup
‘Cos we ’re marching the Iength of EngIand
And I wouIdn ’t teII no Iie
I ’II wear this bIack and white jersey ‘tiI the day I die
Now teII me, why is the whoIe worId staring?
Must be the shirt I ’m wearing
BIack and white army
Bringing the pride back home (we ’II be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
BIack and white army
