[edit] Lyrics

Manchester can rave about the Summerbee and Best
Then there's Liverpool and Arsenal and Spurs and all the rest
But let us sing the praises of the lads we love the best
As Leeds go marchin' on...

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
They're the greatest football team in all the land

Now little Billy Bremner is the captain of the crew
For the sake of Leeds United he would break himself in two
His hair is red and fuzzy and his body's black and blue
But Leeds go marchin' on...

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
They're the greatest football team in all the land

Now first we won the League Cup and before so very long
The Inter-Cities champions were really going strong
And once again at Wembley you will hear us sing this song
As Leeds go marchin' on...

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
They're the greatest football team in all the land

In the Paddock and the Scratching Shed let's hear the voices sing
Let's get behind United and make the rafters ring
We've a team we can be proud of and Don Revie is the king
As Leeds go marchin' on...

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
They're the greatest football team in all the land

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
They're the greatest football team in all the land!

[edit] Modern day

Glory, Glory Leeds United is still sung by Leeds fans today, although the chorus is the main focus, with the "on on on" section being repeated as long as necessary:

Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
Glory, glory Leeds United,
And the Whites go marching...
