You can talk about the Armstrong

And the Mighty "Coan" too

But here's a tale about a band

I`m going to tell to you

Big John he led the middle row

With Melissa and young Mark

A Bass and two wee Tenors

The finest in the park

They come from up the country

A place known far and wide

They call it Cullybackey

The band's their joy and pride

The back row they then settled in

An` things was soundin` good

The doubts were fallin` by the way

Perhaps they maybe could

This year they came to Glasgow

To face a mighty test

There was Bleary and Ravara

Polkemmet and the rest

Jonathons by the double

Wee Jasons in a pair

Steven, Ian and Gregory

And William he was there

The day it started off not good

We thought their lucks gone west

When news got out and round about

Your womans wonky chest

That brings me to the man himself

As if you didn't know

Adrian in the middle

The King of Champions row

But the boys stuck in

And hands just seemed to fly

If they didn't win an` lift the cup

There`d be no reason why

So time moved on just as it does

11.40 on the dot

The rolls were crisp, the rolls were clean

Oul "Kit" heard what they`d got

Some players come and players go

Some winners fade away

But the boys from Cullybackey

Are "Champions" all the way
