This man has got skill, this man has got pace,

Can Coleraine last this year’s title race?

See football is tough and mental torment,

So you’ll have to excuse my poetic lament,

Yet orange and green together we stand,

United as one in this once troubled land.

A working-class club inferior no more,

As we concur the spirit of ’74.

‘One game at a time’ isn’t that what they say,

So don’t listen to the others; to Baxter nor DJ.

So tune in next week, folks, please if you can

To watch us bring the Gibson to our part of the Bann.
