Work up early this morning and I jumped out of bed
I didnât have to wear my work clothes
I put on this shirt instead
Itâs a black and white jersey, itâs a thing I couldnât hide
âCos itâs almost a religion and I wear it with some pride
Now the streets are all empty in this little town of mine
I was born to make this journey like the ships outside
Iâve got my ticket to London, and a little bit of cash
Iâve got this black and white jersey nice and clean for the match..
Now tell me, why is the whole world staring?
Must be the shirt Iâm wearing
Black and white army
Bringing the pride back home (weâll be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
Black and white army
Itâs been a long hard season, been a long hard year
And theyâre telling us that weâre lucky
So lucky, to be here
But if we all stand together and hold our heads up high
We will raise up our voices and tell it to the sky
This time they canât deny us
This time they wonât get by us
Black and white army
Bringing the pride back home (weâll be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
Black and white army
Youâll never understand us if you thought that weâd give up
âCos itâs more than just a game,
And itâs more than just a cup
âCos weâre marching the length of England
And I wouldnât tell no lie
Iâll wear this black and white jersey 'til the day I die
Now tell me, why is the whole world staring?
Must be the shirt Iâm wearing
Black and white army
Bringing the pride back home (weâll be)
Bringing the pride back home
Bringing the pride back home
Black and white army
