New Three Lions lyrics in full as Christmas re-write made for World Cup

One of England's most famous songs 'Three Lions' has been re-written ahead of the winter World Cup in Qatar.

The original, which was written by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner in 1996, has been released with a brand new festive music video that includes the likes of Sir Geoff Hurst and Lionesses Jess Carter and Beth England, following the Women's Euro 2022 victory over the summer.

Baddiel and Skinner have once again teamed up with singer Ian Broudie to record the new version and have now shared the brand new lyrics for the song, just three days before England kick off their Group B campaign against Iran.

Loving that Lionesses win

But thoughts of last year's final kick in

And Moscow

And Turin

The blokes seem cursed

FRANK AND DAVID

Whatever they try

And I think I know why

They're just jinxed in July

FRANK

But it's December…

Three Lions on a sleigh

With She-Lion's inspiration

Santa says let's play

The Christmas tree formation

DAVID

When they decided on Qatar

Should have checked VAR

It's too hot

And too far

So we'll be…

DAVID AND FRANK

…snowflakes watching it here

This is our time of year

We'll be having a beer

FRANK: (SPOKEN) Actually I won't because I've got alcohol issues…

Yule Rimet still gleaming

A football Christmas song

Not at all demeaning…
