LYRICS:
It's more than goals
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
​
It's more than goals
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
​
Way back in 1863
We decided to agree
Rules of play,
The FA
​
And as all the years went by
Even more rules applied
Like how I was offside
And I was goalie!
​
Teams got fancy shirts
Different for the keepers
Play on grass or dirt
Rules to stop the cheaters
​
So many blokes, so many jeers
Before so many years
Women's teams
Got the cheers
​
'Cos when they saw us
Passing the ball, scoring 43 goals
Boy, could we play football
Until they banned us!
​
I was thinking hard
About rules while stuck in traffic
Red and yellow cards
Made reffing more dramatic
​
In 1971
FA's rules were withdrawn
Meant that we could play on
The women's game reborn!
​
It's more than goals
We know that football's more than goals
​
It's more than goals...
​
Wherever you roam
Whoever you cheer for
Football feels like home
(Not sure what I'm here for)
​
Playground or World Cup
When your team is winning
There's no better buzz
Than when your fans are singing
