it was 20 years ago today (well tomorrow officially)

[cliff p]

just to let you know that tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of one of the most glorious days in our lives, let me be the first to raise a glass in salute of this most remarkable event.

 

and dont let the blue s**** forget it tomorrow ie the 10th May 2006

 

feel free to email this to as many blues as you know

 

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
