"Hail, hail, the gang's all here" is the popular refrain from the 1915 American song, "Alabama Jubilee" made famous by Fred Astaire. The lyrics were written by D. A. Esrom (pseudonym of Dolly Morse) to a tune originally written by Arthur Sullivan for the comic opera The Pirates of Penzance. The tune is part of "With Cat-Like Tread" from Act II of Pirates and was modified by Theodore Morse from Sullivan's four-part original.
Today the chorus of the song (with revised lyrics) is perhaps more identifiable (certainly amongst Irish and Scottish communities) as being part of the Celtic Song, sung by the fans of Glasgow Celtic in Scotland. Glen Daly recorded an "official version" of the Celtic Song that is commonly played at Celtic Park prior to matches.
