From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glory Glory Man United is a football chant sung by the fans of the football (soccer) club Manchester United to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

[edit] History

The first known use of the tune as a football chant was by Tottenham Hotspur FC supporters in the 1960s, and it remains sung by them still.

In recent years, it grew in popularity with Manchester United FC fans further, following its inclusion in the single Come on You Reds, released in 1994, performed by the team with Status Quo. Francis Rossi, who helped write the song, is a Tottenham fan. The song reached Number One in the United Kingdom for two weeks.

Several versions for other clubs including Tottenham Hotspur FC and Leeds United F.C. were also written.

[edit] Lyrics

Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
Glory, glory, Man United,
And the reds go marching on, on, on.
Just like the Busby Babes in Days gone by
We'll keep the Red Flags flying high
You've got to see yourself from far and wide
You've got to hear the masses sing with pride
United! Man United!
We're the boys in Red and we're on our way to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
In Seventy-Seven it was Docherty
Atkinson will make it Eighty-Three
And everyone will know just who we are
They'll be singing 'Que Sera Sera'
United! Man United!
We're the boys in Red and we're on our way to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
Glory Glory Man United
Glory Glory Man United
Glory Glory Man United
As the Reds Go Marching On! On! On! (3x)
