A Liverbird Upon My Chest lyrics

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 1]
With Kenny Dalglish on the ball
He was the greatest of them all
And Ian Rush, four goals or two
Left Evertonians feeling blue

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 2]
Now if you go down Goodison Way
Hard luck stories you hear each day
There's not a trophy to be seen
'Cos Liverpool have swept them clean (With Mr Sheen)

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May
[Verse 3]
Now on the glorious 10th of May
There's laughing reds on Wembley Way
We're full of smiles and joy and glee
It's Everton 1 and Liverpool 3 (Easy)

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
Upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 4]
Now on the 20th of May
We're laughing still on Wembley Way
Those Evertonians feeling blue
At Liverpool 3 and Everton 2

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 5]
And as we sang round Goodison Park
With crying blues all in a nark
They're probably crying still
At Liverpool 5 and Everton 0
[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
Upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 6]
We remember them with pride
Those mighty reds of Shankly's side
And Kenny's boys of '88
There's never been a side so great

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
Upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 7]
Now back in 1965
When great Bill Shankly was alive
We're playing Leeds, the score's 1-1
When it fell to the head of Ian St John
[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (Of Shankly's best)
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May

[Verse 8]
On April 15th '89
What should have been a joyous time
Ninety-six friends, we all shall miss
And all the Kopites want justice (JUSTICE!)

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (JUSTICE!)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (JUSTICE!)
A team that plays the Liverpool way (JUSTICE!)
And wins the Championship in May (JUSTICE!)

[Verse 9]
The angels came one sunny day
They came to take our Bob away
The greatest sight for you to see
Three European cups for Bob Paisley (PAISLEY!)

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (PAISLEY!)
We are the men, of Shankly's best (PAISLEY!)
A team that plays the Liverpool way (PAISLEY!)
And wins the Championship in May (PAISLEY!)

[Verse 10]
We went to Rome in 84
We won the treble like never before
Barney rubble was the man
Who won the cup for Joe Fagan (Fagan!)

[Chorus]
A Liverbird upon my chest (Upon my chest)
We are the men, of Shankly's best
A team that plays the Liverpool way
And wins the Championship in May
