The Lion Roars

In the summer of ’90 we headed to Italy
To take on the world we were going for glory
Sometimes you make us cry but the spirit will never die
Because one day our nation will cause a sensation

Scotland – the lion roars with pride
Scotland – the tartan army’s at your side
Give us a goal for the millions of miles
Don’t forget to give your mum a smile
In Scotland where the lion roars with pride

From hampden to germany we flew the saltire high
argentina then spain saw lions waving in the sky
sang “here we go here we go” to mexico
italy was five in a row, there’s a tartan army party everywhere we go

Scotland - the lion roars with pride
Scotland – the tartan army’s at your side
Give us a goal for the millions of miles
You’ll hear us cheering in the western isles
Scotland – the lion roars with pride

brazilian drums beat to Flower of Scotland through the warm Italian night
we didn’t bring the cup back home cos we played a load of shite
but now that it’s all over we can hear the whole world say
Scotland – you are welcome any day

Scotland – the lion roars with pride
Scotland the tartan army’s by your side
We have walked a million miles leaving memories of a million smiles
Scotland – the lion roars with pride
