"The Ballad of Billy Bremner"

There's a tale I'm goin' to tell you

All about a brave young man

Who was born and born in Scotland

That's where history began

 

He once cheered the Glasgow Celtic

Just the soon as he could talk

And he'd kick a paper football

Just the soon as he could walk

 

And his name is Billy Bremner

We will never forget his deeds

He was made to play for Scotland

Now he captains United of Leeds

 

So he came to Leeds United

And they made Don Revie the boss

All the Elland Road fans were excited

and wor gain was Celtic's loss

 

Many giants have tried to slay him

When he fights for every ball

But he knows the famous saying

When they're big the harder they fall

 

And his name is Billy Bremner

We will never forget his deeds

He was made to play for Scotland

Now he captains United of Leeds

 

When they talk of Mathews and Pele

Of Lawton and Finney and James

Like a whiskey in your belly

He will glow amongst those names

 

He will lead our lads to glory

He will lead our lads to fame

When they sing Uniteds story

You will always hear the name

 

And his name is Billy Bremner

We will never forget his deeds

He was made to play for Scotland

Now he captains United of Leeds

And his name is Billy Bremner

 

We will never forget his deeds

He was made to play for Scotland

Now he captains United of Leeds 

 

"Glory, glory, Leeds United"

 

Manchester can rave about their Summerbee and Best,

Then theres Liverpool and Arsenal and Spurs and all the rest,

But let us sing the praises of the lads we love the best,

As Leeds go marching ooon,

 

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

As the whites go marchin On! On! On!(they're the greatest football team in all the land)

 

Little Billy Bremner is the captain of our crew,

For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two,

His hair is red and fuzzy and his bodies black and blue,

As Leeds go marching ooon,

 

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

As the whites go marchin On! On! On! (they're the greatest football team in all the land)

 

Now first we won the league cup and before so very long

The Inter-Cities Champions were really going strong

And once again at Wembley you will hear us sing this song

As Leeds go marchin' on

 

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

As the whites go marchin On! On! On! (they're the greatest football team in all the land)

 

In the paddock and the scratching shed let's hear the voices sing

Let's get behind United and make the rafters ring

We're a team we can be proud of and Don Revie is the king

As Leeds go marchin' on

 

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

Glory, Glory Leeds United,

As the whites go marchin On! On! On! (they're the greatest football team in all the land)

 

"We Are Leeds, We Are Proud"

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

Play with passion, play to win

The Leeds United spirit (spirit)

Is building from within

For the North (for the North)

We shine the light

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

When we score a goal

Hear the crowd at Elland Road

It's the place, where all our dreams are born

Victory, is in our sights (is in our sights)

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

 

(solo)

For the North, For the North

For the North, For the North

(solo)

 

We are Leeds, we are proud

Standing up, singing loud

And there's nothing you can do

Against the yellow, white and blue

"Leeds United Calypso"

 

Leeds - Leeds - Leeds .... (10 times)

 

Leeds United calypso

Leeds United calypso

I feel so happy I feel so fine

The Elland Road lads are pals of mine (a-ha)

 

Now everybody come along with me

To Elland Road and sing joyfully

A lot of happy footballers you will see

The pride of the directors and Don Revie

 

It's the Leeds United calypso (sing it now)

Leeds United calypso

I feel so happy I feel so fine

The lads at Elland Road are pals of mine (a-ha)

 

Now matches have come and matches have gone

And at last we're happy in division one

Instead of the Mersey and Liverpool sound

We've got a special noise at the Elland Road ground

 

(Leeds - Leeds - Leeds...

is repeated throughout this chorus in the backing)

 

It's the Leeds United calypso

Leeds United calypso

I feel so happy I feel so fine

The lads at Elland Road are buddies of mine (a-ha)

 

We've got Englishmen and Irishmen and Scotchmen, too

And our goallie called Sprake from Wales mark you

Albert Johanson is one of the few

I don't know where he comes from, but I think it's Timbuctoo

 

It's the Leeds United calypso (sing it now)

Leeds United calypso

I feel so happy I feel so fine

The lads at Elland Road are mates of mine (a-ha)

 

Now all the Leeds supporters are feeling grand

They're also very happy in Sunderland

Records have been broken for all to see

So buy this record from the lads and me

 

It's called the Leeds United calypso (buy it now)

Leeds United calypso

I feel so happy I feel so fine

The lads at Elland Road are pals of mine

 

Leeds - Leeds - Leeds ....... 

 

"The Tale of Johnny Giles"

 

I know a little Irishman

Who gets the fans excited

I'm glad he left old Manchester

And he came to Leeds United

 

'Cos Johnny Giles of Ireland

Is the general of United

And if Don Revie had his way

Then Johnny would be knighted

 

When Johnny takes a penalty

The goalie looks quite sorry

And Billy Bremner dare not look

But he really needn't worry

 

He puts the ball down on the spot

The goalkeeper is sweatin'

He does his sort of an Irish gig

The ball is in the nettin'

 

It's Johnny Giles of Ireland

And the general of United

And if Don Revie had his way

Then Johnny would be knighted

(spoken: Oh yes, he sure would)

 

It must be all the stew he eats

That gives him his endurance

'Cos if you meet him in the street

He'll sell you some insurance

 

Oh Johnny Giles of Ireland

The general of United

And if Don Revie had his way

Then Johnny would be knighted

 

And if Don Revie had his way

Then Johnny would be knighted

(spoken: Can you imagine?

"Arise, Sir John - the popper-in of penalties!")
