about

To the Rio Hodgson samba squad and everyone knocking off work and bunking off school for the World Cup this summer. Bem-vindo ao Brasil!

lyrics

My mate Trevor
Never very clever
First night in Rio -
Lost in the favela
Felt he was in danger
Right up until
A rudeboy in a Rooney shirt said:
"Welcome to Brazil!"

Bra-zil! We might not have the strongest team
That the World Cup's ever seen
But we still come here to dream!

Bra-zil! You know we were the first to play
What became your greatest game
Our name's still on the Jools Remé!

My girl Anna
Bit of a spanner
Got sunburned
On Copacabana
Red as a lobster
She was feeling very ill
But still joined in a kickabout -
Welcome to Brazil!

(Chorus)

My aunt Miranda
Tried to do the samba
Come the next day
She could hardly stand-a
Had to have a hand-a
Painkilling pills
She said: "Come on or we'll miss the match!"
Welcome to Brazil!

(Chorus)

My boy Keith
In Sao Paolo for two weeks
Went to get a haircut
Thought he knew Portuguese
Asked for a shave -
Paid at the till
They gave him a bikini wax
Welcome to Brazil!

(Chorus)

Na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
England!

Na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
England!

Na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
England!

Na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
England!

Here we go!
Singing for Eng-er-land!

Here we go!
Singing for Eng-er-land!

Here we go!
Singing for Eng-er-land!

Here we go!
Singing for Eng-er-land!
