The Actual Song
We are just one of those teams that you see now & then
WE OFTEN SCORE SIX, but we seldom score Ten
We beat them at home, and we beat them away
We'll Kill any B*sta*d that gets in our way

We are the pride of all Europe, the Cock of the North
We hate the Scousers, the Cockneys of course & Leeds
We are United without any doubt, We are the Manchester Boys na na na na na na na na.
