- (continued from previous page)We dont care whether we win lose or draw.
What the devil do we care
All we know there's going to be a row
And good old Celbridge will be there.

Before the match was over
Before the whistle blew
The Celbridge backs they got the ball
And down the field they flew
They passed it to the forwards
The forwards put it through
Another goal for Celbridge before the whistle blew.

But now the war is over we have feathers in our hats.(continues on next page)
