INTRO: G D C

Elvis had an heart-attack,
cos he got too bleedin fat.
He weighed nearly half a ton,
he looked more like a pregnant mum.

Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead. Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead. X2

Elvis had a gammy leg,
he had a gammy head.
He had a gammy kidney,
He was better-off dead.

In August 1977,
Elvis met his fate.
But he couldn’t get into heaven,
cos he couldn’t get thru the gate

Intro: F G

Last time in Germany
A 5-1 victory
This time it will be better still

Hear the 3 Lions roar
Every time England scores
We’ll take the World Cup from Brazil

The waiting’s almost over
I can feel it in the air

England will win the cup
Okay, we’ll need some luck
It’ll be our first in forty years
England will rule again
There will be no more pain
We’ll all be smiling through the tears

No more excuses please
No more missed penalties
It’s time to justify your pain

Please leave your wives at home
You can win this on your own
While Sven and Becks are getting laid

The waiting’s almost over
I can feel it in the air

England will win the cup
Okay, we’ll need some luck
It’ll be our first in forty years
England will rule again
There will be no more pain.
We’ll all be smiling through the tears

Celebrations can begin
Could be another forty years!
Another forty years….

Okay, we’ll need some luck
It’ll be our first in forty years
England will rule again
There will be no more pain
We’ll all be smiling through the tears

Intro: x2

Verse:
see those student wankers walking down the street
their clothes so smart & clean, their hair well kept & neat
who wants to die of knowledge you can’t use?
spend all day quoting Freud but can’t do up their shoes

Chorus:
play riff 3 times
student wankers
student wankers

Verse: (same chords as first)
see those student wankers in the student bar
complaining to each other that their grants don’t go far
with their silly student ties and silly student scarfs
drinking draught real ale but not in pints but halves
