1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 To the Tune of Jerusalem

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 And did Tom’s feet in ancient time
Dazzle on Deepdale’s hallowed turf.
And is the holy lamb of god
Found on those perfect pure white shirts.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 And does his countenance divine
gaze down from the Tom Finney stand.
And has it ever been in doubt
That we’re the best team in the land.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Bring me the class of Jonny Mack
Bring me Sean Gregan’s strength and fire.
Bring me McKenna’s midfield drive
Bring me a goal at last from Meijer.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 I will not crease, my Baxi top,
Bjarki* will never wash his hair
Till we are in the Premiership
A league we’ll grace with style and flair.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 Icelander Bjarki Gunnlaugsson. Brother of Leicester’s Arnur and equally bald as a coot.

Notes

Due to a decline in atmosphere at PNE and a dearth of songs, the manager David Moyes along with the Lancashire Evening Post called for ideas for new songs and this was mine.
