Lyrics

Intro

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on the grass he reigns

Running fast through the dusty plains

Mo Salah finds the net again

Yeah he finds the net again

Verse 1

Back in Alexandria where the coastal winds blow

Little Mo had a vision with a long way to go

Nagrig boy with a golden left boot

Deep roots

Fast loot

Finding the route

Trading the fields for the green stadium lights

Pre-Chorus

He takes a breath

He takes a stride

He takes the pride

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on the grass he reigns

Running fast through the dusty plains

Mo Salah finds the net again

Yeah he finds the net again

Verse 2

Now listen close to a brand new tale

Hossam Hassan sets the summer sail

The defense is shaking like a leaf on a tree

One-zero

Two-zero

Make it three

Trezeguet charging like a wild desert storm

Pre-Chorus

He picks the spot

He picks the corner

He picks the win

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on the grass he reigns

Running fast through the dusty plains

Mo Salah finds the net again

Yeah he finds the net again

Bridge

New Zealand didn't see the wave coming through

Red shirts burning bright under sky so blue

Five big moments written on the wall

Standing tall

Having it all

Waiting for the summer kick-off call

Way-oh

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on the grass he reigns

Running fast through the dusty plains

Mo Salah finds the net again

Yeah he finds the net again

Post-Chorus

Way-oh

Way-oh

Pharaohs on the go

Way-oh

Way-oh

See the rhythm flow

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on

Verse 4

I was talking to a fella in a striped jersey suit

He said Trezeguet’s shooting is some absolute fruit

Under Hossam Hassan it's a different kind of play

No defense

No pretense

Winning matches every single day

From North America back to the river bank of silt

The pride of the nation is getting ready to be built

Way-oh

It's the goal-scoring sensation

Trezeguet’s our newest occupation

Post-Chorus

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Drop

Trezeguet

Mo Salah

Pharaohs

Way-oh

Bridge 2

Three-zero final and the whistle starts to blow

Now we're headed to the cup where the champions go

Talking 'bout the movement

Talking 'bout the style

Running miles

With a smile

Leaving defenders in a heap and a pile

Chorus

He cuts inside from the right hand wing

Make the Cairo stadium shout and sing

With a shimmy and a shake and a sideways glance

Give the Pharaohs one more chance

Like a king on the grass he reigns

Running fast through the dusty plains

Mo Salah finds the net again

Yeah he finds the net again

Outro

Walking through the garden of the gods on the pitch

Keeping that momentum without even a glitch

Egypt’s moving forward with the captain at the wheel

Top of the group

In the loop

Showing exactly how the champions feel

Way-oh

Way-oh

Hossam Hassan

Trezeguet

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

(Way-oh)

(Way-oh)

(Way-oh)

Egypt scores again

Yeah they score again

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh

Way-oh
