The song was first released in 1996 by English band The Lightning Seeds.
And the catchy tune was released to mark England’s hosting of that year’s European Championships.
The earworm, a song that sticks in your mind, has become the de facto anthem of English football and you will almost certainly have heard it belted out in pubs across the country over the last few weeks.

Three Lions Lyrics:
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home (x4)
Everyone seems to know the score
They've seen it all before
They just know
They're so sure
That England's gonna throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play
'Cause I remember
Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
So many jokes, so many sneers
But all those oh-so-nears
Wear you down
Through the years
But I still see that tackle by Moore
And when Lineker scored
Bobby belting the ball
And Nobby Dancing
Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home (x4)
Three Lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
Three lions on a shirt
Jules Rimet still gleaming
Thirty years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming
