1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 We first made your aquaintance
Back in 2003
A cool and enigmatic bloke
A smart Alec to you and me.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 Your Porto side were divers
Your tactics were quite clear
But could we turn you over?
Well, we we did come very near.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 A further year did then pass,
Now 2004
You added the big cup to your list
but still you wanted more.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Off to Chelsea you did go
To spend old Roman’s cash
Throwing your medals to the crowd
It all seemed rather rash

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 It had to end in tears
and the bullet you did get
but you just shrugged your shoulders
Smiled and said “no sweat”.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 You took a little holiday
Just chilled a patient man
Then the call and off you went
To Inter of Milan

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Two years there and then guess what
The big cup is yours again
But not content, you jacked it in
And now you’re off to Spain.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 But hold your horses Jose
if it’s a challenge that you need
Just head across to Glasgow
And do it with great speed

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 We are desperate for a Manager
Who can rebuild our team
I guess there’s no chance really
But a Celtic fan can dream.
