Lyrics for The First Goal
The first goal was scored by Gunni,
The second by Geordie Shaw,
The third goal was scored by Paul Lambert, the finest of them all,
No goals were scored by Celtic,
3-0 was the final score
And you could nae hear the soldier song, for the saints go marching in,
Oh when the saints...
