1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 When Larsson signed for Celtic,
I was still a boy,
I didn’t really realise,
He’d bring us so much joy.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 A few years on i noticed,
How good that he could be,
Then he broke his leg in Lyon,
Why couldn’t it have been me?

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 When Henrik made his big return
53 in the net he put
And beat Shevchenko in the chase
for the famous golden boot.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Scoring against Boavista twice
In the semis of the UEFA Cup,
Took us to the sunny Spain
To hope for a bit of luck.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Head to head with Porto,
In Seville 2003
Larsson put 2 in the net
But Porto had put 3.

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 A defeat in the UEFA final,
Wasn’t good enough for me,
Larsson must be thinking,
“Why couldnt i’ve scored 3?”

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Next year in the quarters of the cup
Villarreal we went,
Tired, injured, bruised and suspended
back home we got sent.

8 Leave a comment on verse 8 0 Summer of 2004
To Greece Larsson flew,
To Play in the EURO Championships,
And get noticed by a few.

9 Leave a comment on verse 9 0 Barcelona took their chance
And they brought Larsson in,
To play up front with Eto’o,
He’ll be banging their goals in.

10 Leave a comment on verse 10 0 Drawn out with Celtic
In the UEFA Champions League,
He scored 1 against Celtic,
To keep Barcelona in the lead.

11 Leave a comment on verse 11 0 So Thank you Henrik Larsson,
For the things you’ve done and shown,
You’ll always be loved in our hearts,
You’ll Never Walk Alone.
