Lyrics
- Glory, glory, Man United,
- Glory, glory, Man United,
- Glory, glory, Man United,
- As the Reds go marching on, on, on.
- Just like the Busby Babes in days gone by
- We'll keep the red flags flying high
- You're gonna see us all from far and wide
- You're gonna hear them as they sing with pride
- United! Man United!
- We're the boys in red and we're on our way to Wem-ber-ly
- Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
- We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
- Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
- We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
- In '77 it was Docherty
- Atkinson will make it '83
- And everyone will know just who we are
- They'll be singing 'Que Sera Sera'
- United! Man United!
- We're the boys in red and we're on our way to Wem-ber-ly
- Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
- We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
- Wem-ber-ly! Wem-ber-ly!
- We're the famous Man United and we're going to Wem-ber-ly
- Glory Glory Man United
- Glory Glory Man United
- Glory Glory Man United
- As the Reds go marching on! On! On! (3x)
