BORO DAYS TO 2015

In the fifties, just a lad Cheering locals with me Dad 2nd tier, watch 'em play, Mannion, Peacock, Clough and Day Swinging 60s, working man Got the fever, diehard fan, 3rd division, hear the moans, Fernie, Irvine, Gibson, Jones 70s and flying high Set 'em free and watch 'em fly Goals galore and endless thrills, Souness, Maddren, Boam and Mills 80s now, heartache, gloom Dying dreams, impending doom, Bright young lads dispel those cares Parky, Mowbray, Cooper, Pears Nineties riches all around World class players, brand new ground Things get better , things get worse, Boksic, Rava, Juno, Merse Noughties came we won a cup Sadly down then followed up Prognosis not looking good, Southgate, Alves, Mido, Flood Banners out now Aitor's here, Time for hope and time for cheer Hopeful how this one will end Nugent, Clayton, Downing, Friend Got it done, got it right, With the big boys, the top flight, Staying strong, see this through, Gaston, Gibbo, Fabio, N'sue. Paid me dues, done the miles, Shed the tears, worn the smiles Shook me 'ead in despair, praise Times I've had on BORO DAYS.
