Shanklys best

I know there a thread or 2 about Shanks but thought posting this might get people up for tomorrow night

Here's a song about a football team
The greatest team you've ever seen
A team that play total Football
They've won the league, Europe and all.

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

With Kenny Dalglish on the ball
He was the greatest of them all
And Ian Rush, four goals or two
Left Evertonians feeling blue

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

Now if you go down Goodison Way
Hard luck stories you hear each day
There's not a trophy to be seen
'Cos Liverpool have swept them clean

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

Now on the glorious 10th of May
There's laughing reds on Wembley Way
We're full of smiles and joy and glee
It's Everton 1 and Liverpool 3

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

Now on the 20th of May
We're laughing still on Wembley Way
Those Evertonians are feeling blue
It's Liverpool 3 and Everton 2

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

And as we sang round Goodison Park
With crying blues all in a nark
They're probably crying still at
Liverpool 5 and Everton nil.

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

We Remember them with pride
Those mighty reds of Shankly's side
And Kenny's boys of '88
There's never been a side so great

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

Now back in 1965
When great Bill Shankly was alive
We're playing Leeds, the score's 1-1
When it fell to the head of Ian St John

A Liverbird upon my chest
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the championship in May

On April 15th '89
What should have been a joyous time
Ninety six Friends, we all shall miss
And all the Kopites want justice (JUSTICE)

One of THE best Liverpool songs going.

Always used to sound boss singing that in The Albert

Cracking song that

Can't remember the last time I heard it at Anfield. Remember it getting sung at an AFC game though.....

Inspiring post.

We need every song ever sung at Anfield to get kicked off if we want an atmosphere tomorrow night.

Cracking stuff Brian.

I've heard a few from the back of the kop try singing the chorus over and over, but a lot a new fans would struggle to sing it very slowly as it's meant to be sung.

Still love hearing the end of the Green Berets film, hearing the tune and then singing our version.

Do you ever remember the 86 single version?  "Cos we're the Pride of Merseyside"

That has to be one of my fav Liverpool songs, absolutely love it to bits.....

The team that plays the Liverpool way 

That is boss makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

I love that song. Shame the chorus isn't heard more often.
