1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 They stand all in white
With the lights beaming down
The nights full of glory
Chasing Europe’s top crown

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The runners
The passers
The kings of the game
The Tottenham
Super Tottenham
The lads from the lane

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 These legends , proper legends
The lads at their peak
These legends , these moments
Are the ones we all seek

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Give me a return
to the era we adore
When the cockerel didn’t stay static
The cockerel did sore

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Give me a Blanchflower ,
and give me a John White
Give me a Cliff Jones
As he torments in full flight

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Give me a Dyson
And a prayer for Mackay
Just give me the 60s
Without a poor 90s sigh

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Give me a Baker
And a touch of big Smith
We once controlled Europe
This wasn’t made up myth

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Give me les Allen
And give me Bill Brown
Give me Ron Henry
and Maurice Norman closing down

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Give me a Medwin and Marchi
And give me a Bill Nic
When the game was about glory
Tottenham passing game slick

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 The runners
The passers
The kings of the game
The Tottenham
Super Tottenham
The lads from the lane

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 Give me the 60s as I never had it
I didn’t get to witness this great sight
When Tottenham became totally dominant
As they stood tall dressed in pure lilywhite
