Penny Arcade is one of the quirkier Glasgow Rangers songs. A pop song with no football lyrics whatsoever, it became a staple of Rangers supporters clubs and charity nights, eventually crossing over onto the Ibrox terraces as an unofficial anthem.

Lyrics for Penny Arcade

A light shown in the night some way ahead, Blue turned into green then it was red, And stirring the night live music played, The light I saw in the night was a penny arcade, Step up and play each machine seemed to say, As I walked round and round the penny arcade, Just ring the bell on the big bagatelle , and you'll make all those colored lights cascade, And music played at the penny arcade, Yes it played and it played, played all the time Roll up and spend your last dime...

Behind the chant

What's the story behind Penny Arcade?

Penny Arcade was written by Sammy King and made famous by Roy Orbison. Rangers fans traced their adoption of it back to the supporters club social scene of the 1970s-80s, and in 2011 a campaign by the fans took it to the top of the HMV download charts.
