“Bill Shankly Boys” is an older Kop staple that name-checks local landmarks, Heyworth Street and The Albert pub among them, as part of the song’s dig at Everton. Versions of the same chant format turn up at grounds across English football, with each set of fans swapping in their own manager’s name and local references.
If you’re tired and you’re weary
And your heart skips a beat
You’ll get your f***ing head kicked in
If you walk down Heyworth Street
If you come to The Albert
You’ll hear our famous noise
Get out you Everton b*****ds
We’re the Billy Shankly Boys
We’re the boys from The Kop
We’re loyal and we’re true
And when we play the Everton
We’re ready for a do
To the cry of “No Surrender”
You’ll hear our famous noise
Get out you Everton b*****ds
We’re the Billy Shankly Boys
