SAFFRON AND BLUE, CLARE ABU
RED AND WHITE, THE REBELS UNITE
YOUNG AND OLD, WAIT WITH BATED BREATH
THE ALL IRELAND FINAL, “A FIGHT TO THE DEATH”
THE CLASH OF THE TITANS, THE TIME IS NEAR
THE MATCH WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR, IS FINALLY HERE
NOT TO BE WATCHED, BY THE FAINT AT HEART
WITH OFFICES IN BOTH COUNTIES, WE’RE PLAYING OUR PART
WE’VE DECORATED OUR HOMES, OUR CARS AND OUR SCHOOLS
NO STOPPING THE SUPPORTERS, NO GUIDELINES, NO RULES
WHAT A FANTASTIC ATMOSPHERE, IT’S BRILLIANT TO SEE
THE BANNER COUNTY IN CROKE PARK, FACING THE BOYS FROM THE LEE
WITH MY COLLEAGUES IN MIND, I’M PLAYING IT NICE
BUT BEING FROM CLARE, I WOULDN’T THINK TWICE
TO LETTING THE CLARE ROAR OUT, “WHEN WE WIN THE FINAL”
YOU CAN’T STOP IT, “I SWEAR”, IT’S POSITIVELY PRIMAL
ALL MOCKING ASIDE, WHETHER YOU’RE FROM CORK OR CLARE
WEAR YOUR COLOURS WITH PRIDE, WAVE YOUR BANNERS IN THE AIR
WE WISH BOTH TEAMS THE BEST, FOR THE UPCOMING GAME
SAFE JOURNEY TO ALL SUPPORTERS, BE IT BY CAR, BUS OR TRAIN
