Celtic FC - Patricia Ferns - The Coronation Cup

Collected from youtube.com Jul 3, 2008 with the description: Fun wee song commemorating Celtic's unexpected victory in the 1953 Coronation Cup. Said Lizzie to Philip as they sat down to dine I've just had a note from an old friend of mine His name is big Geordie, he's loyal and true And his beautiful nose is a bright shade of blue He says that the Rangers are right on their game We'll give them a trophy to add to their fame We'll give them a trophy the Rangers can win Said Philip to Lizzie watch the Celts don't step in Said Lizzie to Philip they don't stand a chance I'll send up my Gunners to lead them a dance With Celtic defeated the way will be clear A cup for the Rangers in my crowning year But alas for the hopes of her loyal true blues The Celts beat the Arsenal and the Manchester too With Hibs in the final and oh what a scene All Hampden was covered in banners of green Said Lizzie to Philip when she heard the news A blow has been struck to me loyal true blues Oh tell me dear Philip for you are to know How to beat Glasgow Celtic and keep them below Said Philip to Lizzie there's only one way And I've known the secret for many a day To beat Glasgow Celtic you'll have to deport All the fighting mad Irish that give them support.
