XI
Then heres to the cottage in Bellbrook
Jack Johnson, Dick Trunk and McKeon
Matt Tyndall, Pat Carroll and Nugent
You'd imagine the house was their own
Sure they're sure to keep on a good fire
While Jack picks the meat of the bones
No wonder the girls all round it
Call it the Bachelors Home.
- The Celbridge Football TeamIt's a rare old team to play for
It's a rare old team to know
And if you know the history
It's enough to make your heart grow sad and weary.
Chorus(continues on next page)
