Unlikely to be 'crazt' - should be 'crazy'. 4th verse - it will be yellow 'card' not 'cab'. Penultimate verse - first line, end is probably: ',,, whan the Scots had won'. 3rd line - that will be 'turf's not 'toughs'. I think it was 1977 when after Scotland actually won at Wembley, the fans celebrated by taking bits of turf away as a souvenir. Others climbed onto the goal posts which of course collapsed. For years my father. a Kirk elder, had a piece of orange nylon cord on the wall which he said was from the goal! Last verse - 3rd line the word is probably 'winchin' (being familiar with a young lady, m'lud) and 'cramped' rather than 'crumped. The earlier posting referring to 'Singing Together in 1968' explains why my little brother came home around that time singing 'Football Crazy' whereas I knew it as 'Fitba Crazy', probably from Hall & Macgregor. I just thought that his school, George Heriot's, had insisted on 'proper' English rather than Scots!
