No matter how many times you've heard it this summer, the chants of "football's coming home" will never cease to be infectious.
For whatever reason (maybe it's the fact that England stands a very good chance of reaching the final this time) Three Lions, a song from 1996 by two comedians and a Britpop band, is sweeping the nation again.
Unless you are really old (like us) you might not know all the lyrics to the song. So, for your consideration, here are all the lyrics for you to cut out and keep.
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming.
Football's coming home.
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home.
It's coming home, it's coming home, it's coming,
Football's coming home.
Everyone seems to know the score,Â
They've seen it all before
They just knowÂ
They're so sureÂ
That England's gonnaÂ
Throw it awayÂ
Gonna blow it awayÂ
But I know they can playÂ
'Cos I rememberÂ
[Chorus]Â
Three lions on the shirtÂ
Jules Rimet still gleamingÂ
Thirty years of hurtÂ
Never stoppped me dreamingÂ
So many jokes, so many jeersÂ
But all those oh-so-nearsÂ
Wear you downÂ
Through the yearsÂ
But I still see thatÂ
Tackle by MooreÂ
And when Lineker scoredÂ
Bobby belting the ballÂ
And Nobby dancingÂ
I know that was thenÂ
But it could be againÂ
It's coming homeÂ
It's comingÂ
Football's coming homeÂ
(It's coming home)Â
Three lions on a shirt (It's coming home)Â
(It's coming)Â
Jules Rimet still gleaming (Football's coming home)Â
(It's coming home)Â
Thirty years of hurt (It's coming home)Â
(It's coming)Â
Never stopped me dreaming (Football's coming home)
With that out the way, and we have to admit that it is a lot of fun watching videos of waves of people chanting the song, it's time to look at some of the best 'it's coming home' memes.
We're not being biased or showing any sort of favouritism towards England, but the quality of football memes on display this summer have been exceptional, especially any inspired by movies, television, music or pop culture.
The Matrix.
A Night at the Roxbury.
The Shawshank Redemption.
Peaky Blinders.
Planet of the Apes.
The Wolf of Wall Street.
Avengers: Infinity War.
Friends (x 2).
Love Actually.
Notting Hill.
Whitney Houston.
Drake.
The Office.
Beyond pop culture, here are some other great 'it's coming home memes' that have graced our timeline.
Even Jesse Lingard got in on the action.
And let's not forget about the men who actually gave us the song in the first place.
If England keeps this up we're sure that Twitter will just be 'it's coming home memes' for the next two weeks and nothing else.
