1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 I remember the time when Bill Shankly called it a day
Every red heart at the news began then to break
Who would we find the wear the King’s crown?
But we didn’t wait long for heir to be found

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The quiet man from Durham then took up the reins
The season began with a little of change
But that year ended badly for second the place
They’d call for his head now patience gone from the game

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 But the following season we raced off with the league
And the UEFA Cup final was Liverpool 4 Bruges 3
We were dancing and singing on the banks of The Mersey
But this was just the start of the great man’s legacy

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 For the glorious conquest of Rome came our way
And Sir Bob he described it as “My perfect day”
And it banished the gloom of a lost FA Cup
As Sir Bob joined Sir Matt and the Immortal St Jock

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Shanks’ pride Kevin Keegan he left after Rome
So it’s off to Parkhead and the best prize brought home
The name of Dalglish would set fire to red’s hearts
And in a pantheon of heroes his the brightest star

6 Leave a comment on verse 6 0 In just nine seasons the silverware mounts
19 gleaming cups at the final count
6 League Championships and 3 European Cups
For this man to be knighted he’s done more than enough

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 But the country of class systems that keep us all down
Denied a man of the people his well deserved crown
But here in our hearts he will ‘ere reign as a king
Sir Bob Paisley of Liverpool, the best that there’s been.
