The time is right, lets go for the kill
Playing this game, with a whole lot of skill
The other team’s after. the ball that we’re keeping
By everyone, even, the guys who are sweeping
Keeping the defence, so nice and tight
Making sure, we all play the game, right
So, let’s chalk another win up, for the fans
All of them, from children, to their grans
It wont be long, ’til, we’re crowned champs again
Only this time, this one’s for the keeper Ben
Hopefully, this one will, be his first one
Staying here with the boys, so he wont be gone
To some other team, trying to ply his trade
‘Cos’ here at United, Ben, you’ve made the grade

The aftermath of the game, we won it one nil
Now onto the second leg, I can’t wait until
We get through the round, to play in the final
When I know that we’ll win, so long as we go full
Throttle, so we don’t throw it all away
After all, full on is the only way we play
We need to defend a single goal lead
If we’re’gonna’  make all take heed
And defend this thing the european cup
To make the football world shut up
With Fergie at the helm there’s no way we can lose
So everybody reading make it United that you choose

We’re on our way to see, the greatest team, that ever drew breath
They call them, ‘The Busby Babes’, and, we love ‘em to death
A team of giants, led by the mightiest of them all
It’s said, that when Duncan played, he would almost burst the ball
Tommy, our centre forward, head and shoulders above
The rest of the team, that the whole of the world, would love
Every player, in their position, in that side from one to eleven
Would make it, in any side made up, from players in heaven
As if just to prove the point, that, they were a few, players short
God wouldn’t take  them , they’d never be harmed, we thought
But god made the call, for the babes to, join his eternal team
Because, that was how god, had planned the scheme
For depriving, we poor souls, left here without that side
All we can do now, is remember with pride
Keeping names, in our memories, and, hearts
Remembering forever, all of the games, and, starts
They made, before that fateful day, when, their lives were taken
And, football worldwide, to the ground, was shaken
But now, if you watch the stars, on some astral plane
If you look closely, you can see the Babes, playing again
