Throw-away World Cup Song

What do you know? I've stolen the tune from Dylan.

Come gather round football fans, listen to me:
The World Cup is coming, it's in Germany
Scotland won't be there, most tragically
You should hear the media pleadin'
"You must support England to be neighbourly!"
But I'll be a-cheering for Sweden

Come all you journalists, you know the score:
It's "down with the Hun" and "Don't mention the war",
It's all Russian linesmen and Saint Bobby Moore
You're setting my eardrums a-bleedin'
You've got a nerve to call me immature
Because I'll be cheering for Sweden

Come you who criticise my behaviour
Look at the atlas your grandmother gave ya
Geographically Scotland is in Scandinavia
We're so proud of our Viking breedin'!
And you're the ones hailing a Swede as your saviour
You ought to be cheering for Sweden.

Go home, why don't you?
