Thanks to the Shanks

He was born in bonny Scotland, And he played the football game, He came to Liverpool in '59, To help us win again, Then with his mighty red army, He marched to victory, He was a legend in his time, Our hero Bill Shankly... So all say thanks to the Shanks, He never walked alone, Lets sing our song for all the world, From this his Liverpool home... No matter were you come from, No matter who you are, Remember the year of '59, When the reds they found a star, And now he shines so brightly, For the boys of Liverpool, Soon the world was about to find, This man was nobody's fool... So all say thanks to the Shanks, He never walked alone, Lets sing our song for all the world, From this his Liverpool home... Then he asked no favours, Just hard work lets get it right, You can only succeed through dedication, And his men they all saw the light, He gave this town his loyalty, And proved it all by success, So always remember when we had Bill Shankly, We all knew we had the best... So all say thanks to the Shanks, He never walked alone, Lets sing our song for all the world, From this his Liverpool home...
