One dark day the great man came
To recreate the hall of fame
For Bobby Charlton and Georgie Best
For every trophy laid to rest
for Duncan Edwards and Dennis Law
for every red conquistador
Alexander, Alexander,
Alexander the great, Alexander
Sir Matt and babes are smiling down
on the blessed hallowed ground
boys of Munich days of old
toast the team in cups of gold
slowly surely each year made
one step on the last crusade
Alexander, Alexander,
Alexander the great, Alexander
Now legends worship at the gates
of the Alexander The Great
disciples of the beautiful game
the whole world shall chant his name
Alexander, Alexander,
Alexander the great, Alexander
Take me to the Stretford End....
in the theatre of dreams
Alex opened every door
to league and cup and euro wars
a dane, a dutchman , Giggs and Becks
each proud young lion who wore the vest
we'll see no red flag unfurled
'till we're club champions of the world
Alexander, Alexander,
Alexander the great, Alexander
Man United, Man United,
always going to score
uniting man from east to west
from Hong Kong to Ecuador
