Winners - acoustic folk song celebrating England world cup success 1966 and . . .?

an original football song that combines a retrospective of the 1966 world cup with a call for action from the current team of playboys to win it in 2010 2014 2018 - whenever!. Tune composed and arranged by me with lyrics by me also.
I know the short guitar clip doesn't synch and the recording is a little amateurish. Will put this right in February if it proves popular enough. Enjoy

Winners - lyrics

Do you remember that day one July the day all England just jumped up for joy
Do you remember the day we won the world cup
Ramsey's men, true heroes then they gave of their all for the love of football
Can you remember the day we all jumped for joy

Chorus
Dont make us wait for another lifetime
just give all that you've got play your best ever game
Just imagine the day we win the world cup

Verse
from 30 yards Charlton lashes the ball and he smashes it into the Portuguese goal
heros give of their best in the world cup
Now England facing west Germany the final match of great destiny
heros give of their best in the world cup

Chorus
Dont make us wait for another lifetime
just give all that you've got play your best ever game
Just imagine the day we win the world cup

V
England are winning with minutes to go when Germany snatches a last minute goal
extra time will be the ultimate test
Did that ball really cross the line its up to the ref he thinks its fine
but the crowds on the pitch and Hurst has scored again

Chorus
Dont make us wait for another lifetime
just give all that you've got play your best ever game
Just imagine the day we win the world cup

V
Englands young men now its your day now is the time to make history
England needs a famous victory
forget all your girls and your expensive toys
just get on that pitch and show you're not boys
its time to show that you are true English men

Chorus
Dont make us wait for another lifetime
just give all that you've got play your best ever game
Just imagine the day we win the world cup
