Willie Maley was his name He brought some great names to the game When he was the boss at Celtic Park He taught them how to play football He made the greatest of them all Gallagher and Quinn have left their mark Chorus And he gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay He gave us Johnston, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay And most of the football greats Have passed through Parkhead's gates For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way In thirty-eight there was a show Glasgow was the place to go A model of the tower was football's prize England sent four of the best It didn't meet with much success For the trophy ended up in Paradise Coronation time was here Fifty-three that was the year Another four from England met their doom They said we'll have to try again But like before it was in vain Because the cup is in the Parkhead trophy room Fourteen years they had gone and so To Portugal we had to go To play the team that Italy adored Celtic went out to attack They won the big cup and they brought it back It was the first it had been on British shores And now in 1998 The Celtic fans are feeling great As we're about to celebrate again Larsson, Brattpak and Tommy Boyd And Simon Donnelly and Aulderhide Are singing Celtic are the champions again |
