1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 This ain’t Upton Park, it’s Brisbane Road.
It ain’t White Hart Lane, that’s the wrong postcode.
It ain’t Stamford Bridge, this is E10,
And you’re gonna hear Rockin’ All Over The World again

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 There’s flats in every corner of the ground.
You can get your kids in for just five pound.
Get an Orientear, it’s only a quid.
Get a cup of tea, but there ain’t no lids

We had John Sitton at his most irate.

We had chequered shirts, we had Chris Tate’s hair.

And I wanna hear Rockin’ All Over The World again.

I’d stay ’til the end if I thought you’d score.
But I haven’t seen a goal in God knows when,
And I wanna hear Rockin’ All Over The World again.
