Arise Sir Bob!

Arise Sir Bob!
To rightfully claim
An honour that eluded you

Arise Sir Bob!
Appraise the dynasty
Spreading from Toxteth to Palma Christi

Arise Sir Bob!
Fine tuning a red hurricane - wreaking worldwide havoc
Using the finest thoroughbreds from the most renowned paddock
Arise Sir Bob!
Look back on the glory days of yore
Stacks of silverware, that no soul can ignore

Arise Sir Bob!
Product of the most famous bootroom dynasty
Moran, Fagan, Dalglish, Evans - all too a part of this tree

Arise Sir Bob!
Player, coach, physio, gaffer supreme
Led a dock city that became Europe's cream

Arise!
Sir Bob Paisley
