1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Slavs do it, Poles do it,
Even Ferdinand and Scholes do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.
Heads do it, knees do it,
Somersaulting Japanese do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 And down in Cannes, bored film fans do it
In the cinema queues,
And in Saipan, Yin and Yan do it
When they kick off their shoes.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Swedes do it, Lapps do it,
Decent civil service chaps do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.
Boys do it, girls do it,
Ladyboys with shiny curls do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 With frozen toes, Eskimos do it
On the treacherous ice,
While on the Steppes, travel reps do it,
And sure, some do it twice.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Bats do it, cats do it,
Gloryhunting little rats do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.
Birds do it, Kurds do it,
Even men of little words do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 In Hindustan, Great King Stan does it
To tremendous applause,
And in Brazil, Pele still does it,
And the stadium roars.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Greens do it, queens do it,
Very often Argentines do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.
Techs do it, Czechs do it,
Sometimes even Posh and Becks do it,
Let’s do it – let’s score a goal.
Let’s do it –
Let’s score a goal!
