Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen

Come on you Eng-er-land, you noble Englishmen

As for the lyric...

Once more onto the pitch dear friends once more

to raise up these walls with our English cheer.

When the whistle blast blows in our ears

then imitate the action of the tiger

stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood

disguise fair nature with hard favoured force

Then lend the eye a skillful aspect

Set the teeth, oh gentlemen in England

bend up every spirit to its full height

On, on you noble English

Those men of grosser blood, teach them how to play

you good players whose limbs were made in England

Show us here the mettle of your footwork

Let us swear that you are worth your breeding

I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips

Straining upon the start, the game's afoot

Follow your spirit upon this charge

Cry God and win for England and St George

COME ON ENGLAND 2010
