Lyrics for It's a Grand Old Team to Play For
Hail Hail, the Hibs are here,
All for goals and glory,
All for goals and glory,
Hail Hail, the Hibs are here,
All for goals and glory now...
For it's a grand old team to play for,
For it's a grand old team to see,
And if you know the history,
It's enough to make your heart go, woah
We don't care what the Jambos say,
What the hell do we care,
For we only know,
That there's gonna be a show,
And the Edinburgh Hibees will be there...
