[Chorus]
So, it's here's up your Arsenal and a George Best to you,
There's not a team in the whole wide world like the Crumlin Kangaroos.

[Verse]
In the Crumlin Road Gaol now, all the prisoners one day,
They took out a football and started for the play,
And as the wardens watched there, the passing of the ball,
One of the bloody football teams went up and over the wall.

[Chorus]
So, it's here's up your Arsenal and a George Best to you,
There's not a team in the whole wide world like the Crumlin Kangaroos.

[Verse]
The wardens they looked on now, in the greatest of surprise,
The sight they saw before them brought tears to all their eyes,
For one for the teams had disappeared, for Ireland they'd be called,
They'd been given a free transfer to a team just over the wall

[Chorus]
So, it's here's up your Arsenal and a George Best to you,
There's not a team in the whole wide world like the Crumlin Kangaroos.

[Verse]
The governor came down now, his face all in a twist,
He said, "Line up these men now, till I get out me list",
Now, two teams they started playing on this we all agree,
But now we're short eight players and the bloody referee.

[Chorus]
So, it's here's up your Arsenal and a George Best to you,
There's not a team in the whole wide world like the Crumlin Kangaroos.
