Who needs the man called Johan Cruyff? Who needs the man Di Stefano? We’ve got one who tops them all you know.
Just a boy from Maryhill at that time life was standing still his daddy said “Hey Bertie Boy let’s go!”
Football boots in his bag it was the year of ’55 his daddy takes him down to Paradise.
Standing in the stadium James McGrory next to him, his daddy has a tear drop in his eye.
(Chorus) Everyone loves Bertie our very own Ten Thirty, the pride and joy of Celtic Park you know.
Everyone loves Bertie, so come on sing HAIL HAIL! To Bertie Auld the Lisbon maestro.
Bertie Bhoy he signs that day but Celtic let him get away and then he heads on down to Birmingham.
Then big Jock Stein gets the call and makes the greatest team of all and Bertie’s on his way back home again.
Chorus
Way back in the days of old you’d catch him on the drink you know, in Baird’s Bar with Jinks and Willie O’.
Bobby Murdoch say’s “Oh hell! Tommy Gemmell’s on the Bell ah guess we’re not going home no no!”
Remember when we used to sing of Bobby Lennox on the wing and Jimmy Johnstone rowing out to sea.
When every Celtic fan today if you ask they’ll always say, Bertie Auld is the man for me.
Chorus x2
By Charlie and the Bhoys
