Glory Glory Hallelujah 1961

Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
And the Spurs go marching on

Mr B's the Irish captain of the Spurs English Welsh and Scots
And he's charming on the telly with his special sporting shots
And Danny is the captain who collected both the pots
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

And there at centre forward Bobby Smith takes up his stand
And when he's in the mood he's the best in all the land
For just like McNamara, Bobby's the leader of the band
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Bill Brown is like George Clawley, calm and capable and tall
His eye is like a beagle's as he keeps it on the ball
Bill Brown keeps goal for Scotland, he keeps for Spurs an' all
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Peter Baker is a full back and he plays upon the right
Peter's always merry, Peter's always bright
Peter's in his glory, in the thickest of the fight
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Ron Henry's seen at full back on the left hand of his mate
He's quick to make a tackle, Ron, he doesn't hesitate
When Ron goes in to tackle we remember Sandy Tait
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

The situation near the goal is often very tense
But Spurs have Maurice Norman as the keyman in defence
In bringing home the trophies his share is quite immense
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Dave Mackay's a half back who is prone to have a bash
Repeat that, Dave's a half back who is prone to have a bash
Dave Mackay's a Scotsman and he often cuts a dash
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Cliff Jones has an objective: football fortune to henhance
He roams from right to left in search of 'alf a chance
And when he scores he executes a little dance
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

In the place of good old Jimmy Seed we now have brave John White
The schemer of Spurs forward line he's Scotland's inside right
The scorer we are told received a pass superb from White
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

Les Allen's game at inside-left reminds us of Bert Bliss
At times the ball goes sailing in, at other times he miss
And when he scores he gets a cuddle and a kiss
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus

With Terry Dyson head a goal and note how hard he tries
In beating his opponent his limits are the skies
Like Jack Kirwan he's a terrier for his size
And the Spurs go marching on

Chorus


The Spurs Song by The Tottnamites (1961)

Tip top Tottenham Hotspur, the greatest team of the year
Tip top Tottenham Hotspur, raise your glasses and give them a cheer
Horray for the double, and let's live it up
One drink for the league, and another one for the cup

Since eighteen ninety seven, they've tried finding a way
Now those Spurs are in heaven, it's White Hart Lane's happy day
They've made it at Wembley, they've climbed to the heights
History will honor those brave Lilywhites

Brown and Baker and Henry, oh what joy they did bring
Mackay and Norman and Danny made those rafters ring
The Jones boy and Dyson on the wings how they flew
With Smith, White and Allen, how they slammed wonder goals through

This great story's not ending, we've still got four more to name
Saul and Marchi and Medwin are all on the role of fame
Just one more tribute, so now let us call
On Mister Bill Nicholson, for making this year the Spurs' happiest year of all

Hot Spurs Boogie (1972/73)

Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur is our team
Tottenham Hotspur, the best you've ever seen
Tottenham Hotspur, come and watch us play
Tottenham Hotspur, we're winning all the way

Sing, shout, let's call out
Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur, we're always looking up
Tottenham Hotspur, our aim's to win the cup
Tottenham Hotspur, the game we search for fame
Tottenham Hotspur, here at White Hart Lane

Sing, shout, let's call out
Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur

There'll never be, another quite the same
We're on our own, the best team of the game
Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur is our name
Tottenham Hotspur, football is our game
Tottenham Hotspur, we want you all to see
Tottenham Hotspur, our trail to victory

Sing, shout, let's call out
Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham Hotspur. . .

Ossie's Dream (1980/81)

Ossie's got to Wembley
His knees have gone all trembley
Come on you Spurs
Come on you Spurs

Come on you, Spurs are on their way to Wembley
Tottenham's gonna do it again
They can't stop 'em, they boys from Tottenham
The boys from White Hart Lane

SPURS are on their way to Wembley
The kings are claiming the throne
Everybody will be singing
When the Spurs go marching on

We are the boys of Keithies army
And we're marching off to war
We're sending our soldiers to Wembley
Under General Burkinshaw

We know the enimie will fear us,
in the battle coming up,
They won't even get near us,
We're gonna capture the cup,

Chorus

In our ranks there's Ossie Ardiles
He's had a dream for a year or two
That one day he's gonna play at Wembley
Now his dream is coming true

Ossie, we gonna be behind you
Altogether man for man
We know you're gonna play a blinder
in thee cup for Tottenham

Chorus

Ossie's got to Wembley
His knees have gone all trembley
Come on you Spurs
Come on you Spurs

Tottenham Tottenham (1981/82)

Come on you Spurs, Come on you Spurs. . .

Tottenham Tottenham, no one can stop them
We're gonna do it like we did last year
Tottenham Tottenham, no one can stop them
We're gonna do it like we did last year

Tottenham Tottenham, no one can stop them
We're gonna do it again
We won't give it up, we gonna bring the cup
Back home to White Hart Lane

They always come see us whether rain or snow
Our supporters never stop at home
When it comes to playing football everybody knows
Tottenham's got a style of their own
We hold the cup that everybody cherishes
And we won't let it out of our hands
We can hear them singing on the terraces
We can hear the boys' of the bands

Come on you Spurs

Chorus

When we get them on the pitch at Wem-ber-lee
We'll be entertaining you
And just the touch of magic there you're about to see
Like when Ossie's dream came true
Stevie can't wait to hold the cup again
Won't be satisfied until it's in his hands
He'll hold it up for everyone to see it then
We'll hear the boys' of our bands

Come on you Spurs

Chorus

The Victory Song (1990/91)

Now the FA Cup is occasion
Next best to Christmas Day
Every team that's in the country
They get their chance to play

They all deserve a big thank you
All for taking part
And there's a team who deserve a special mention
Let's all sing from the heart

We're off to Wembley 'cause we beat the Arse*al
We're off to Wembley 'cause we beat the Arse*al
In the North-London Cup they was only runners-up
Now they can't get the double up the Arse*al

Now that's enough about the Arse*al
'Cause the semi-final's done
Now we're off again to Wembley
To win and number one

 unknown?
It's gonna be Tottenham's day (Tottenham)
But it was a lovley feeling as we got there
When we put them Gunn*rs away

Chorus

Now we promise we won't mention
The Arse*al anymore
Cause it's Tottenham Hotspur in the final
To do the business that's for sure

We're proud to be at Wembley
As any team would be
And just a final word in case you missed it
Is how we got there see

Chorus. . .

When The Year Ends In One (1990/91)

It was 1901 when Tottenham first got there
They were in the final it was a great affair
Sheffield United scored a goal but finished runners-up
'Cause Cameron, Smith and Brown scored three and Spurs took home the cup

It's lucky for Spurs when the year ends in one
They first won the cup when the century begun
It's lucky for Spurs when the year ends in one
So this is the year for Spurs

Then in 1921 again was Tottenham's year
Chim, chim, Jimmy Dimmock scored the winner here
Wolverhampton Wanderers never scored at all
Spurs had won the cup again for playing good football

Chorus

In 61 Cup final first time on Wembley turf
That gave prove to everyone they were the best team on earth
They won their Wembley final and they were the first to do
The Double 'cause they here they ended up League Champions too

Chorus

Now it's 1991 but let us not forget
Ten years ago we won the Cup in 81 you bet
It was Tottenham Hotspur when Ossie's dream came true
Now it's 1991 the Spurs now what to do

Chorus. . .

Tottenham are the greatest team the world has ever seen
