I'm a celebrated footbal fan, as everybody knows;
And I've stood in every Kop and shed from here to Elland Road;
I can show a 4-3-3 can beat the old 5-3-3-1
And haven't I often proved it in the Public Bar?
I can kick like Kevin Keagan and I'm handy with me head,
And as for my allegiance, you can take it all as RED
So all I need is Paisley's call to rouse me from me bed
Where I've been scoring with the Judies in the Public Bar.
I can dribble down the alley, I can pass with either shoe
You should see me in the Nelso when I'm weaving through the
queue
And no defence on earth could keep me from a pint or two
When I'm sweeping down the middle to the Public Bar.
I can settle any argument between the rival Fans,
I'm the Leslie Welsh of Wavertree, the Mersey Memo'ry Man
And I'll talk you through the goal that Roger scored against
Milan
When I'm conducting the post-mortem in the Public Bar.
