KING KENNY

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!"
