A big orange whale came up the Clyde

Landed in Ibrox on Saturday night

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay

This big orange whale climbed intae the park

This big orange whale climbed intae the park

Where the players were trying to train in the dark

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay

They ran and they wakened their manager up

They ran and they wakened their manager up

‘If we cannae get training we’ll no win the cup’

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay

Says he, ‘It’s an answer tae all o ma prayers’

Says he, ‘It’s an answer tae all o ma prayers’

An’ he rushed doon and signed the whale on wi the Gers

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay

With a whale for a goalie, they won every cup

With a whale for a goalie for a goalie, they won every cup

And left Jock Stein with a trembling lip

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay 

To give him the sack made them sad as could be

To give him the sack made them sad as could be

But they caught him one Friday with fish for his tea

With a rifolall-tittyfolall-rifol-rifol-tittyfolay

The moral, no doubt, you’ll think is a queer yin

Rangers won’t have a whale if it’s not Presbyterian
