CQN’S quest for a supporters’ song for Tom Rogic continues today. We received some pretty decent submissions yesterday and published these over two articles yesterday afternoon and evening. More suggestions have come in for consideration and here they are…
First up is Gerry McGrath who again is working on the basis that the Men at Work tune is the way to go. Gerry wrote:
I saw you’re article regarding the Tom Rogic song……great idea!
Here are my suggested lyrics to the Men At Work tune:
Super-Strikes are his Spe-cial-ity
He curls them in, can’t stop him, no-way
We call him Rogic, the big tall Aussie
Who’ll take the mick out of a ‘zombie’
And we sing:
Tom came from the land down under (yeah yeah)
Just to become, Celtic’s Bhoy Wonder
Can’t you hear, can’t you steal his thunder?
Well, you better run, you better take cover.
Next up is ‘Momo Baldie’ who not only has a suggestion for a new song for Tom Rogic but has also a new one for Moussa Dembele in mind!
Momo Baldie doesn’t think any of the suggestions so far will work at the games, although would be fine for the buses and supporters clubs etc. He wrote:
“Re the Rogic song, I’d suggest some of the offering would be fine in supporters’ clubs and buses but at the park it has to be short and repetitive as in:
We’ve won the league again, fly the flag, fly the flag!
or
Na na na nana nana nana nana Celtic!
So my immediate idea for the TR song would be along similar lines:
To the tune of Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport…
You can’t tie Tom Rogic down, Sport
You can’t tie Tom Rogic down,
You Can’t tie Tom Rogic down, Sport
You can’t tie Tom Rogic down!
All together now,
(Repeat and repeat and repeat)
Re Moussa, hearing snippets of songs during the game the other day made me think of one for him along existing lines.
To the tune of ‘Walk In The Light’:
He scores with the left
He scores with the right
He scores with the head
He’s Moussa Dembele!
Jonny from the Calton reckons we need to keep things short and sweet.

Rogic, Rogic, Rogic will score one for you
There has been a bit of a team effort going on by the Bogan Bhoys in Hamilton and they have come up with a few suggestions, one late last night and a second this morning.
Their first suggestion is to use the tune from The Wizard of Oz…
We’re off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful ROGIC of Oz
We hear he is a whiz of a whiz
If ever a whiz there was
If ever a wonderful whiz there was
TOM ROGIC of Oz is one because
Because because because because because
Because of the wonderful things he does
We’re off to see the Wizard
The Wonderful ROGIC of Oz
Gillian Dott aslo opted for The Wizard of Oz with slightly different lyrics…
We’re here to see Tom Rogic
The wonderful Wizard of Oz
Because because because beeecausee
Because of the wonderful goals he scores…
Then this morning the Bogan Bhoys in Hamilton were back in touch with to suggest adapting an old one used by the Tartan Army from the 70s for big Jim Holton (who actually has brown eyes and not blue!)
Anyway back to the Bogan Bhoys, who wrote:
Great idea to have a song contest for Tom – long overdue! Another submission from us on the lines of the old Jim Holton song………
Six foot two
Pass right thro’
Tomas Rogic’s after you
Na na na na , na na na, na na
Wears eighteen
In our team
Vital to the Green Machine
Na na na na , na na na, na na
Pass and move
Oh so smooth
He’s got our team in the groove
Na na na na , na na na, na na
Our hearts soar
Watch him score
Celtic, Celtic, to the core
Na na na na , na na na, na na
Bartley Mooney has suggested these Rogic lyrics…
Tom Rogic is the name
Football is the game
And he plays at Paradise
The lad from down under
Has a shot that sounds like thunder
As he plays the Celtic way
Tom has class,Tom has style
And he stands out a mile
The lad from Aussieland.
Martin Garrity is the first to suggest using the theme tune from Neighbours…
Rogic, everybody needs Tom Rogic.
Niall Paterson has an idea for a new Tom Rogic song, using The Stone Roses song ‘She Bangs the Drums’. He asked us to listen to the song first and provided the original lyrics as follows…
Have you seen her have you heard
The way she plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel
How could it ever come to pass
She’ll be the first she’ll be the last
To describe the way I feel
The way I feel
His Tom Rogic version is…
Have you seen or have you heard
The way he plays there are no words
To describe the way I feel
Oh what a shot Oh what a pass
Tom Rogic’s ace Tom Rogic’s class
can’t describe the way I feel
SHOUT **The way I feel**”
Repeat
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
Oh we can’t get you out of our head
Cos your goals are all we think about
Oh we can’t get you out of our head
And the Huns they can only dream about havin you
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
La la la la la Tom Rogic
Read back HERE to catch up on yesterday’s suggestions and if you have a song of your own that the Celtic support could adopt for Tom Rogic please email david@cqnpublishing.co.uk and we’ll get it up on CQN for consideration…
