An ode to Team GB

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Maccabiah's coming home
(x4)

JK (Jonathan Kestenbaum) seems to know the score
He's seen it all before
He just knows
He's so sure

That GB's gonna
Throw it away
Gonna blow it away
But I know they can play
Cos' I remember

Three lions on the shirt
Maccabiah's still gleaming
40 Years of hurt
Never stoppped me dreaming

So many jokes, so many jeers
But all those oh so nears
Wear you down
Through the years

But I still see that
Tackle by Craig
And when Hakim scored
Sloma belting the ball
And Mitch dancing

Three lions on a shirt
Maccabiah still gleaming
40 Years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

I know that was then
But it could be again

It's coming home
It's coming home
It's coming
Football's coming home
(x4)

Three lions on a shirt
Maccabiah's still gleaming
30 Years of hurt
Never stopped me dreaming

A song for the British Zions

Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home;
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Comin' for to carry me home.

I looked over Israel
And what did I see,
Comin' for to carry me home,
A band of Zions comin' after me,
Comin' for to carry me home.

Repeat chorus:
If you get there before I do,
Comin' for to carry me home,
Tell all my chaverim I'm comin' too,
Comin' for to carry me home
