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FA's rules were withdrawn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
