Oh Sir Alex Ferguson, seldom called Chapman,
A lad from Govan, an inspiration, a motivation,
A knighted champion.
Thee on field displayed artistry,
Spawned us history, left a legacy,
Feeding the rivals fear rich in funk and misery.
Oh Sir Alex Ferguson, I was a straying sperm,
When you reached Old Trafford’s helm,
Skies ceased fleeting the roof’s brim,
Afflictions’ insecurities put beneath earth’s skin.
You are our dearest teacher,
A scholar, a caring shoulder,
A grandiloquent advisor,
And that colossal godfather.
Twenty six years it was,
Many a hurdle did you surpass,
Shunning the moon’s dim opalescence en masse,
With time you swam across,
With elegance
And unquenchable spells of patience.
You’re the heart and zest of time,
Life’s cardinal shine,
You’re the earth and skyline,
Old Trafford’s eminent arbiter of conduct in time,
The soil and life beneath sea line.
Oh Sir Alex Ferguson,
I swear in the name of heaven,
I will go with you forever,
Here there, near and far.
And, I with you dearly,
Like Burham’s Barmy army,
Forever will be your red army.
