Just a few wee additions, which you can use or not use as you see fit. Some of the words in this version have been 'anglicised'





Noo ye a' ken my big brother
His name is Jock McGraw
He's lately joined a fitba' club
For he's mad about fitba'
He's twa black een already an'
(Three teeth oot by the root)
[Teeth knocked frae his gub](gub= a Glasgow slang expression for mouth)
(Where his face became connected wi'
Some other fellow's boot)
[Since oor Jock became a member o' that terrible fitba club]
Chorus

Oh he's fitba' crazy
He's fitba mad
[And the fitba game has ta'en away, the little bit o' sense he had]
(His fitba' capers robbed him
O'the wee bit sense he had)
It would take a dozen (servants) skivvies]
His claes tae (patch) [wash] and scrub
Since oor Jock became a member   
O'that terrible fitba' club

Noo the first match that he ever played
I went masel' and saw
They'd twa hauf bricks for goal posts
And a tin can for a ba'
The Prince o' Wales was there himsel'
Wi a'his ladies grand
So our Jock he got an egg box
And erected a grandstand

Chorus

Of a' the fitba' clubs there are
Jock swears they are the best
Ye ought tae hear him brag aboot
How time has stood the test
They've challenged a' the ither clubs
But nane'll tak' them up
Since they beat the Blind Asylum
For the Silver Plated Cup

Chorus

In the second half at Hampden
The Captain said 'McGraw
Ye'd better tak' this penalty
or we'll never win at a'
He took forty paces backward
and shot off from the mark
The ba' went soarin' mightily
And landed in New York

Chorus

(His wife says she'll divorce him
That's if he disnae keep
Frae kickin' up a rumpus
Playin' fitba' in his sleep
He cries oot it's a corner kick
Mair nonsense just as droll
He kicked her oot o' bed last nicht
And shouted 'It's a goal ')

[His wife says she'll divorce him, she'll mak him look a sicht
If he disnae keep frae fitba kickin' in the bed at nicht
Fur he cries her Charlie Tully**, and ither names sae droll
Last nicht he kicked her oot the bed, and shouted IT'S A GOAL]

Chorus

**Charlie Tully was a famous Glasgow footballer in years gone by
