[Intro]
Say hello to St. Pauli, say hello to the Celts,
Say hello to St. Pauli, for we are the best of friends.
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
[Verse]
In the year of the Lord 1995, from sweet Glasgow town we set sail,
With a cargo of near eighty gallons of beer shouting tiocfaidh ár lá and Hail Hail,
The Celtic Boys came on the bus or the plane to play St. Pauli in Hamburg.
And we all knew it fine it would be party time so we started as soon as we landed.
Singing:
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
[Verse]
Well we went down on the town with the white and the brown in the morning to see what could be done,
In our masses and throngs, singing rebel songs and the German boys knew every one,
Then on to Millerntore we didn't mind the score and when the football was over,
Going down the Reeperbahn, we fixed up our plan and pretty soon not one of us was sober.
We sang:
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
[Verse]
Well, St. Pauli are renowned at Celtic Park, our home, their fans come to watch Celtic play,
In Parkhead and Bairds, and in the Brazen Head, St. Pauli fans are welcome everyday,
So fascists beware, take us on if you dare, but you'll see there is nothing surer,
St. Pauli and the Celts are simply the best! We are the greatest supporters in Europe!
For we sing:
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
[Verse]
Well, we spent all our time drinking lager, schnapps and wine from jugs, and tumblers and glasses.
And as we walked out a boy began to shout as we had encountered some Nazis
And down in the docks the scum get a shock, for we fairly turned them over.
It was the end of our stay, here in St. Pauli, for we all got deported through Dover.
We were still singing:
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
[Chorus]
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli,
Oh, ah up the Celts, oh, ah, St. Pauli.
