[Verse]
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, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

[Verse]
In '38 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,
They didn't meet with much success,
Cause the trophy ended up in Paradise.

[Chorus]
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

[Verse]
Coronation time was here, '53 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,
Cause the trophy's is in the Parkhead trophy room.

[Chorus]
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

[Verse]
And then in 1957, we faced a guy called Georgie Nevin,
The game was etched on every Celtic fan,
With Wilson, Mochan and McPhail,
And Willie Fernie scored as well,
As Celtic fucked the Rangers 7-1.

[Chorus]
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

[Verse]
For ten years they have gone and so,
To Portugal we had a 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 soil.

[Chorus]
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.

[Verse]
And then in 1998, the Celtic fans were feeling great,
And we're about to celebrate again,
With Larsson, Brattbakk and Tommy Boyd,
And Simon Donnelly and all the Bhoys,
Celtic are the Champions again.

[Chorus]
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay, (And the IRA!)
They gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay, (Fuck the Queen and the UDA!)
And most of the football greats,
Have past through Parkhead's gates,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way,
For to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
