For this new challenge ahead
The nation is watching"
Come on England we need to sort it out
Put the champs down, pull your finger out
Leave the wags alone, set aside your ego
We're tired of bragging about forty odd years ago
Tired of getting a kick (oi)
World Cup 2010, don't wanna see ya slip past
Think about the future
Surely it's the right time
I wanna see you win it in my lifetime
1966 Bobby Moore and that
Geoff Hurst put it to the turf
We applauded that
There was no ignoring that nobody could stop him
I gotta myself an England shirt, I'm gonna rock it
'Cause there's so much to play for
But we've got to come together (ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
You know we've got to come together now
One, two, three
Everybody sing
Shout, shout, let it all out
Come on England!
These are the things I could do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh (oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi)
Everybody sing
Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh (oi, oi, oi, oi, oi, oi)
Come on England!
Pull your socks up let's get physical
We need team work we don't need a miracle
We need Rooney in tip-top condition
Aaron Lennon down the wing like he's on a mission
It ain't no superstition, it's not a luck thing
Rio Ferdinand nobody can fuck with him (nope)
So get stuck in, don't get caught out
And stop trying to hog the ball, knock the ball about
So much to play for
But we've got to come together
(Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
One, two, three
Everybody sing
Shout, shout, let it all out
Come on England!
These are the things I could do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough
"Steven Gerrard with the shot
It's into the net for England
Well, there's been some doubts
But those doubts have been swept away now
And England are heading for South Africa"
Shout, shout, let it all out
These are the things I could do without
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Come and have a go if you thing you're hard enough (England, England, England, England)
Shout, shout, let it all out (ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
Come on England
These are the things I could do without (ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh)
Come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough
The lyrics to Dizzee Rascal and James Corden's "Shout" are a rallying call to England's football team ahead of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. The opening lines recognize the weight of the nation's expectation and the pressure that comes with representing England at the highest level. The call to action is loud and clear - England needs to "sort it out" and "put the champs down."
The song's lyrics are peppered with references to England's football history, particularly the country's one and only World Cup win in 1966. Dizzee calls on England to look to the future but also remembers the past, acknowledging the heroics of Bobby Moore and Geoff Hurst in that defining tournament. There is a sense of urgency to the song, with the message being that England cannot afford to let this opportunity slip past them. The reference to 40 years ago reveals the frustrations many England fans have felt since that historic win and the team's inability to replicate that success.
