Lyrics
From Rio to Moscow, Scunthorpe to Tokyo
It doesn't matter where you go
Everywhere's the same they know football is the game
Football is the game of the Lord
St Peter is in goal, Thomas plays a sweeping role
Paul and James are the solid centre backs
The midfield that is on, Mark Matthew Luke and John
The service to the strikers nevers lacks
You play it with your feet you cannot use your hands
That's why they call the game football
It was created somewhere in the heart of Engerland
Football is the game of the Lord
Elvis the king plays on the right wing
He runs up and down and never flags
And the way the Lord's team plays you won't ever have to pray
Cos you know that the result is in the bag
They always keep a clean sheet except the Turin Shroud
There's never any trouble in the crowd
Now they're down to ten men Judas got sent off again
The ref said hey you get off of my cloud
Barcelona to Oslo, Clapham Common to Cairo
It doesn't matter where you go
Everywhere's the same they know football is the game
Football is the game of the Lord
