(Stan Kelly)
Chorus:
Two teams alike in dignity
In Edinburgh we set our scene
And Julie's dad was Scotland mad
While Romeo's followed Phil Bennet's team
As she was going to Murrayfield Park
It being the International day
He passed her on the way to the match
And pretended that he'd lost his way
Oh dear Jul can you help me
I'm sweating leeks 'cos it's ten to three
And if I'm late for the Murrayfield tie
I'll miss Gareth Edward's opening try
She flashed her saucy eyes at him
And oh but they were St Andrew's blue
She answered him right modestly
I'd rather be dead than a red like you
I'm a Murrayfield Maverick through and through
And I would die for the lads in blue
But I'll lead you to the holy ground
Lest you miss Irvine scoring two
He arched his back against the bar
To save her from the swaying fans
They sung Flower of Scotland Sosban Fach
And they left Murrayfield holding hands
Well Julie's dad was raving mad
And Romeo's nearly went berserk
And over a black and tan that night
They agreed mixed marriages never work
So while the moon was shining bright
Our star-crossed lovers eloped one night
They were wed next day at Gretna Green
Now they're trying to raise a British Lions team
(as sung by The McCalmans)
