This day is called the feast of Ninian
He that supports this day, and comes safe home
Will stand a-tiptoe when the day is named
And rouse him at the cry of Cardiff City.

He that shall see this day and live t'old age
Will yearly on the vigil recall the Bluebirds
And say "To-morrow is Cup Final Day":

Then will he strip his coat and show his shirt
And say "This shirt I had on me - at Wembley."
Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats they did that day.

Then shall their names
Familiar in his mouth as household words -
Jimmy Floyd Hasslebank, Ledley and Enkleman
Ramsey and Whittingham, Sinclair and Johnson -
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.

This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Cup Final Day shall ne'er go by
From this day to the ending of the world
But those in it shall be remembered;

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that shouts their chants with me
Shall be my brother...
And gentlemen in Canton now abed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not there
...upon Cup Final Day.
