Heh, JimI, Ah mind o' ratt song (well, some of it anyway) but don't know if it his or McGinn's. Either way, it was another long time favourite in a lot of the clubs, depending on where you were of course....... but unfortunately these days it needs a fair bit of explanation before you can sing it - at least out here it does. Especially the bit about "...Parkheid is their new Jerusalem, and Jock Stein's a latter-day Christ..." there's usually a general issue of blank looks all round.

As far as correct words go, most of that sort of song used to change a fair bit anyway, as the performers added a wee twist here and there, so I don't think anyobody can claim to have the definitive version, unless sworn to by the original composer on a stack of pints o' heavy that high.
