Busby Babes they always made me cry 
Thinkin' 'bout the teams of years gone by 
Charlton, Edwards, Law and Georgie Best 
We're United, you can keep the rest 

Schmeichel, Parker, Pallister 
Irwin, Bruce, Sharpe and Ince 
Hughes, McClair, Keane and Cantona 
Robson, Kanchelskis and Giggs 

Come on you reds, come on you reds 
Just keep your bottle and use your heads 
For ninety minutes we'll let them know 
Who's Man United, here we go 

Come on you reds, come on you reds 
Just keep your bottle and use your heads 
For ninety minutes we'll let them know 
Who's Man United, here we go

Glory Glory Man United 
Glory Glory Man United 
We'll maintain the status quo 
We're Man United, here we go 

So Old Trafford let us hear you loud 
Cheer us on and we will do you proud 
Fifty thousand voices sing our song 
Keep us at the top where we belong 

So here's to Alex Ferguson 
He'll take us all the way 
We're on the road to glory now 
Winning at home and away 

Come on you reds, come on you reds 
Just keep your bottle and use your heads 
For ninety minutes we'll let them know 
Who's Man United, here we go 

Come on you reds, come on you reds 
Just keep your bottle and use your heads 
For ninety minutes we'll let them know 
Who's Man United, here we go 

Glory Glory Man United 
Glory Glory Man United 
We'll maintain the status quo 
We're Man United, here we go 

Come on you reds , come on you reds 
The team that's able to defend their net 
We won the Doubles we'll let you know 
We're Man United, here we go 

Come on you reds, come on you reds 
Just keep your bottle and use your heads 
For ninety minutes we'll let them know 
Who's Man United, here we go 

Man United, here we go 
Man United, here we go
