Lyrics for It's a Grand Old Team
And it's a Grand Old Team to play for,
And it's a Grand Old team to support,
And if you know your history,
It's enough to make your heart go worrrrrrrrr,
We don't care what the Red sh*te say,
What the f*ck do we care ?
Because we always know,
That there's gonna be a show,
When the Everton boys are there !
Everton !!! Everton !!! Everton !!! Everton !!!
