What if Olise had chosen England?

Lyrics as sung in the video

From the streets to the floodlights, With the ball tied to his feet, A left foot full of magic, Making defenders retreat. They said he’d wear the Three Lions, They dreamed of Wembley nights, A winger made for England, Cutting in from the right. But somewhere down the line, He heard another call, Now we’re left here singing, What if he’d joined us all? Oh Olisé, Olisé, What if you’d chosen England? Running down the wing for the boys in white, Lighting up the sky on a Saturday night. Oh Olisé, Olisé, We’d be singing your name forever, From Wembley Way to the pouring rain, What if you’d worn the Three Lions again? Imagine Jude beside him, Harry waiting in the box, Saka on the other side, Defences getting lost. A shimmy past the full-back, A curler to the far post, The lad we nearly called our own, The one we wanted most. The crowd would rise like thunder, The flags would start to fly, But football’s full of stories, That leave you asking why. Oh Olisé, Olisé, What if you’d chosen England? Running down the wing for the boys in white, Lighting up the sky on a Saturday night. Oh Olisé, Olisé, We’d be singing your name forever, From Wembley Way to the pouring rain, What if you’d worn the Three Lions again? No hard feelings, no bitterness, Just a dream that slipped away, But somewhere in another world, You scored for us today. The pubs would shake, the lads would sing, The nation would believe, With Olisé in an England shirt, What a team we could have seen. Oh Olisé, Olisé, What if you’d chosen England? Running down the wing for the boys in white, Turning every dark night bright. Oh Olisé, Olisé, We’ll still wonder forever, From Wembley Way to the pouring rain, What if you’d worn the Three Lions again? What if you’d worn the Three Lions again? What if you’d worn the Three Lions again? Olisé, Olisé… In another life, you chose England.
