all songs 01 Willy Mailey Lyrics

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
Gallacher and Quinn have left their mark.

(chorus)
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay
they gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay
and most of the football greats
have past through Parkheads gates
for to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

In 38 there was a show Glasgow was the place to go
a model of the tower was footballs prize
England sent 4 of the best
they didn't meet with much success
cause the trophy ended up in paradise.

chorus

Coronation time was here 53 that was the year
another 4 from England met there 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.

chorus

And then in 1957 we faced a guy called Gorgie Nevin
the game is etched on every Celtic fan
Wilson, Mochan and Mc Phail
and Willie Fernie scored as well
as Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1.

chorus

So 10 years they had gone and so
to Portugal we had to go, to play the team that Italy adore
Celtic went out to attack
they won the big cup and they brought it back
it's the first time it had been on British shores.

chorus

And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
We're amongst the honours once again
The Celtic fans did proudly sing
Larsson is the King of Kings
and he joins the list of famous Celtic men!

OLD VERSES (oldest 1st)

Now 21 years to the day we find it's our centenary
and we're among the honours once again
6 million pounds the huns did spend
but Souness found it was in vain
because the Celtic are the Champions again.

And now in 1995 it feels good just to be alive
and we're about to celebrate again
the fans all cry out for Pierre
he rises up into the air
and brings the Scottish cup to paradise.

And now in 1998 the Celtic fans we're feeling great
and we're about to celebrate again
Larsson, Brattbakk and Tommy Boyd
and Simon Donnelly and all the Bhoys
are singing Celtic are the Champions again.

And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
and we're about to celebrate again
Larsson, Lennon and Tommy Boyd
and Martin O'Neill and all the Bhoys are singing
Celtic are the champions again.
