The Football World Cup lyrics
The football World Cup is the greatest event
The pinnacle of all that great football represents
We can’t wait for the World Cup’s opening day
And then to see Messi and Renaldo play
It will be both of their record 6th World Cup
Where will each of their teams finish up
Football, football, it’s in our hearts
We can’t wait for the games to start
And though they call it soccer over there
It’s known as football everywhere
Football, football, it’s in our hearts
We can’t wait for the games to start
I can’t wait for the World Cup’s opening day
And to watch Messi and Renaldo both play
Which one of them will get your vote
As being the Greatest Of All Time – ‘The Goat’
Pele and Maradona have now gone
It’s now between these 2 stars to decide upon
Football, football, it’s in our heart
We can’t wait for the games to start
And though they call it soccer over there
It’s known as football everywhere
Football, football, it’s in our hearts
We can’t wait for the games to start
Watching football’s like watching poetry in motion
The game is full of so much passion and emotion
We will watch and enjoy each teams football journey
All the way to the final in New Jersey
We love hearing the crowd’s boos and their cheers
It’s like music to our ears
But why oh why, is the World Cup only every four years
Football, football, it’s in our heart
We can’t wait for the games to start
And though they call it soccer over there
It’s known as football everywhere
Football, football, it’s in our hearts
We can’t wait for the games to start
Football, football, it’s in our hearts
It’s in our hearts, it’s in our hearts
