"Oh, father, dear, I often hear, you talk of this now gone,
You talk of Maley and McStay, you speak of Sunny Jim."
I've seen tears fall when you recall, the day John Thompson died,
Oh, father, dear I want to hear about our Celtic side."

"Son, I can't remember when I first went to see Celtic,
But I remember when the boys were playing,
Your grandfather would take me along to Parkhead,
And I would watch the game from his shoulders,
And you even at that age, I could see the Celtic were a great, great team,
And for that reason I am proud to be a Celtic man."

"One of the greatest sights you could wanna see,
Was Jimmy Quinn heading for goal and firing in one of his unstoppable shots,
He was a big broad lad and there was some sad he was rough ,
And he came in for all sorts of abuse,
But then I suppose when you can't stop a man, you have to find some sort of excuse,
Another reason I am proud to be a Celtic man."

"I needn't tell ye that Celtic have some great men,
And through the years, they've always had the best,
There's been Jimmy McMenemy, James Young, Alec McNair, Patsy Gallacher, James McGrory,
Thompson McInally, Summers, Hay, McGonagle, Adams, Shaw, Dowds, McMahon, Delaney,
But sure the list is endless, they were all great if they played for Celtic
Another reason I am proud to be a Celtic man."

"Maybe the year I remember best was 1931,
We won the Scottish Cup that year and took it on a tour of the States,
Then on the 5th of September that year
They lost John Thompson in an accident at Ibrox,
Ah, there were the sad times and there were the happy times too,
Another reason I am proud to be a Celtic man."

"Yes, the Celtic history is a proud one,
But it would take months, yes, maybe years to talk about it all,
The famous names and the famous games
But when you follow Celtic your watching history being made,
And in the years to come, you will be able to tell about the famous Celts you knew for they are all great,
Another reason I am proud to be a Celtic man.".
