He hails from Scotland
Home of the scotch
Arrived from Celtic
To the banks of Mersey (His home forever be)
Bob saw a vision in 1977
A sound investment of 440,000!
Taking the role of shaking the Kop
Swaying Liverpool all the way to the top
As if scoring goals was not enough
Accepted the mantle of coaching the club
Absolute glory achieved on the front
Bidding goodbye after so many cups
The club turned to others to pull his work forward
Everything achieved in that space of time
Except the coveted Premier League prize
Then came the yanks with promises galore
Took everything, even the Anfield floor
Two decades passed without sheer luck
LFC staring down the barrel of a gun
In such times of terrible crises
Stars moved for trophies elsewhere
But all was not lost
The club had been bought
Entered John Henry
Spoke like a visionary
Lead the legend back to his home
Boosting the kitty with millions in store
The fans elated, the players fearless
Singing in unison, "You'll Never Walk Alone"
The other clubs shaking in their very bones
The legend spoke, the legend showed
The legend brought in some fresh imports
What followed in 6 months
The whole world did see
Off with bad memories
Wiped the slate clean
Few hours from now the season begins
We’ll overturn any situation
Hope restored back in our hearts
"Come on, you Reds, let's make the start!"
