[Chorus]
He's Billy McNeill, he's Billy McNeill,
The greatest captain, that we've ever seen,
He captained the Celtic and he managed the team,
We'll sing the praises of Billy McNeill.
[Verse]
When we go to the games, walk along Celtic way,
We'll see you statue of that special day,
When you lifted the big cup and you held it up high,
Was a day to remember, was a day full of pride.
[Chorus]
He's Billy McNeill, he's Billy McNeill,
The greatest captain, that we've ever seen,
He captained the Celtic and he managed the team,
We'll sing the praises of Billy McNeill.
[Verse]
Now Billy McNeill, you lived for the team,
The famous Celtic, the bhoys in green,
A true Lisbon Lion, you did us so proud,
Your name will forever be sung by the crowds.
[Chorus]
He's Billy McNeill, he's Billy McNeill,
The greatest captain, that we've ever seen,
He captained the Celtic and he managed the team,
We'll sing the praises of Billy McNeill.
[Verse]
Now Billy McNeill, the bhoy from Bellshill,
Thanks for the memories and the job you fulfilled,
Fans came in their thousands to cheer you goodbye,
You'll always be with us cause legends don't die.
[Chorus]
He's Billy McNeill, he's Billy McNeill,
The greatest captain, that we've ever seen,
He captained the Celtic and he managed the team,
We'll sing the praises of Billy McNeill,
We'll sing the praises of Billy McNeill.
