Lyric
- Hullo, Hullo
- We are the Rangers Boys
- Hullo, Hullo
- You'll know us by our noise
- We're down to our knees to see our team
- At Ibrox or away
- For we are
- The Glasgow Rangers Boys
This has been changed over time though to:
- Hullo, Hullo
- We are the Billy Boys
- Hullo, Hullo
- You'll know us by our noise
- We're up to our knees in fenian blood
- Surrender or you'll die
- For we are
- The Brigton Derry Boys
In the final line the word "Brigton" is often replaced by the name of the singer's hometown/estate. Example, "Govan Derry Boys".

Famous quotes containing the word lyric:
“In the dying world I come from quotation is a national vice. It used to be the classics, now it’s lyric verse.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“They are sworn enemies of lyric poetry.
In prison they accompany the jailer,
Enter cells to hear confessions.
Their short-end comes down
When you least expect it.”
—Charles Simic (b. 1938)
“As I have known them passionate and fine,
The gold for which they leave the golden line
Of lyric is a golden light divine,
Never the gold of darkness from a mine.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
