The Everton Song
Encyclopedia
The Everton Song, "It's A Grand Old Team", has been sung for many years by supporters of the club.
Parallels are drawn between the Everton Song and The Celtic Song
sung by supporters of Celtic F.C, with a recording of the Celtic version being played out before kick-off. As such, in recent years Everton recorded their own version by local radio presenter Billy Maher, which is now played on the PA at Goodison
before kick-off and at the end of the match.
It's a grand old team to support,
And if you know your history,
It's enough to make your heart go whooah,
We don't care what the red [side] say
What the [heck] do we care,
Because we only know that there's going to be a show,
When the Everton boys are there.

Lyrics (Everton version)
It's a grand old team to play for,It's a grand old team to support,
And if you know your history,
It's enough to make your heart go whooah,
We don't care what the red [side] say
What the [heck] do we care,
Because we only know that there's going to be a show,
When the Everton boys are there.
