I took a trip to Ibrox
My favourite team for to cheer
They were playing the Glasgow Celtic
On the 1st day of the year.
Now the ground was filled to capacity
As the teams came out to play,
The animals sang the soldiers song
And the people dollys brae.
Now the half time had came and went in
The Glasgow Celtic were in the lead,
Charlie Tully was running everywhere
Shakin his rosary beads
Well the green flags they were flying high
Celtics hearts they were full of pride.
But the second half sure it started well
And the Rangers they turned the tide.
Wont you play up the Glasgow Rangers,
Play up the boys in blue,
Play up the Glasgow Rangers
For were here to cheer on you.
Well the ball goes out to Waddle
And from 30 yards he did score,
Sure you coudn't hear your ears at Ibrox park
For the sash my father wore.
Oh play up the Glasgow Rangers,
Sammy Cox is on the ball,
He slips it through to Willy Woodburn
And on to Iain McCall.
Ian McCall to Billy Simpson,
Oh here come the boys in blue.
Simpson beats the Celtic center half
And in goes number 2.
Now the Rangers fans are roaring
As Geordie Young he takes a free.
Onto the head of Billy Simpson
And in goes number 3.
3:1 to the Glasgow Rangers
And that was the final score,
A happy new year at Ibrox park
For Rangers beat the Celtic once more,
A happy new year at Ibrox park
For Rangers beat the Celtic once more.
