Ireland fan song
EURO 2016
Ireland vs Belgium
Taking Over France
Ukulele
Stand up for the boys in green
heading to the euros
Lyrics:
Started over in Georgia
Pulled it out of the bag
McGeady off the left
And that's where it began
Seven against Gibraltar
And the Germans next in store
And that's when John O'Shea became a god forever more
Slipped up against the scots
But the lads kept the head
With Germany coming over
To put our hopes to bed
Well no one gave us a chance
They said that we'd be bet
Till Randolph knocked it up and Shane Long stuck it in the next
Singing, Stand up for the boys in green
Ole ole and a chance to dream
We're heading to the euros, we're taking over france
We might get hammered but we're going to take the chance
Shoes off for the boys in green
If there's one thing I know it's that there's going to be scenes
Cos we're heading to the euros we're taking over france
We might get hammered but we'll take the feckin chance
We used to dream of teams of Gary Breens
But now we've Johnny Walters and we've still got Robbie Keane
And we've got Glenn Whelan to break lads up
His touch might not be the best but we don't give a f**k
And we've got Robbie Brady to ping it from the left
Coleman on the right to put it on Shane Longs chest
McClean to pick up yellows, and O'Shea leading the back
And Wes in the middle, to set up the attack
Chorus
The hype is starting to build
And you can feel a sense of hope
And Eamonn John and Liam are perparing all their notes
And Bill will be watching over them to keep the lads in check
As they give out about long balls, and not keeping it on the deck
Well bags are being packed
And flags are being made
And everyday more and more will join the green brigade
Thousands will head over
On planes boats and cars
To pack out all the stadiums and clean out all the bars
