FOOTBALL SONGS

[booder]

The new season will soon be upon us and grounds will reverberate to the massed choirs of fans singing their songs. Almost all groups of fans have their own unique anthems associated with their club. Although these add atmosphere to the game , the lyrics don't always come across clearly.
Please post any anthems that are unique to your club. ( PLEASE  No abusive or inflammatory ones )

I will start off with a Liverpool classic that has been sung since the 60's...
      POOR SCOUSER TOMMY


I'll tell you a story of a poor boy
Who was sent far away from his home
To fight for his king and his country
And also the old folks back home
So they put him in the Highland division
Sent him off to a far foreign land
Where the flies swarm around in their thousands
And there's nothing to see but the sand
Well the battle started next morning
Under the Arabian sun
I remember the poor Scouser Tommy
Who was shot by an old Nazi gun
As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)
With the blood rushing out of his head (of his head)
As he lay on the battle field dying (dying dying)
These were the last words he said...

Oh... I am a Liverpudlian
I come from the Spion Kop
I like to sing, I like to shout
I go there quite a lot (every week)
We are the team who plays in red
A team that we all know
A team that we call Liverpool
And to glory we will go
We've won the League
We've won the Cup
We've been to Europe too
We played the Toffees for a laugh
And we left them feeling blue

[GlasgowBandit]

Willie Maley was his name
he brought some great names to the game
when he was the boss at Celtic Park
he taught them how to play football
he made the greatest of them all
Gallacher and Quinn have left their mark.
 
(chorus)
And they gave us James McGrory and Paul McStay (And you know Who)
they gave us Johnstone, Tully, Murdoch, Auld and Hay
and most of the football greats
have past through Parkheads gates
for to play football the Glasgow Celtic way.
 
In 38 there was a show Glasgow was the place to go
a model of the tower was footballs prize
England sent 4 of the best
they didn't meet with much success
cause the trophy ended up in paradise.
 
chorus
 
Coronation time was here 53 that was the year
another 4 from England met there doom
they said we'll have to try again
but like before it was in vain
because the cup is in the Parkhead trophy room.
 
 chorus
 
And then in 1957 we faced a guy called Gorgie Nevin
the game is etched on every Celtic fan
Wilson, Mochan and Mc Phail
and Willie Fernie scored as well
as Celtic beat the Rangers 7-1.
 
chorus
 
So 10 years they had gone and so
to Portugal we had to go, to play the team that Italy adore
Celtic went out to attack
they won the big cup and they brought it back
it's the first time it had been on British shores.
 
chorus
 
And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
We're amongst the honours once again
The Celtic fans did proudly sing
Larsson is the King of Kings
and he joins the list of famous Celtic men!
 



OLD VERSES (oldest 1st)
 
Now 21 years to the day we find it's our centenary
and we're among the honours once again
6 million pounds the huns did spend
but Souness found it was in vain
because the Celtic are the Champions again.
 
And now in 1995 it feels good just to be alive
and we're about to celebrate again
the fans all cry out for Pierre
he rises up into the air
and brings the Scottish cup to paradise.
 
And now in 1998 the Celtic fans we're feeling great
and we're about to celebrate again
Larsson, Brattbakk and Tommy Boyd
and Simon Donnelly and all the Bhoys
are singing Celtic are the Champions again.
 
And now a new Millennium we have a brand new stadium
and we're about to celebrate again
Larsson, Lennon and Tommy Boyd
and Martin O'Neill and all the Bhoys are singing
Celtic are the champions again.

  Play up Pompey
  Pompey play up!

  well it took a few games but i learnt it in the end

[lazaroonie]

my early memories of going to see Celtic , would normally involve hearing songs which would make normal people cringe...but they used to sing an old irish song. just a simple traditional song which used to make the hairs on my neck stand up :

Fare thee well my lovely Dinah, a thousand times adieu
For we're going away from the Holy Ground and the girls we all loved true
And we'll sail the salt sea over, but we'll return for sure
To greet again the girls we loved, on the Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

Chorus:
You're the girl I do adore and still I live in hopes to see
The Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

And now the storm is raging and we are far from shore
And the good old ship is tossing about and the rigging is all tore
And the secret of my mind, I think you're the girl I do adore
For soon we live in hopes to see the Holy Ground once more (fine girl you are)

Chorus

And now the storm is over and we are safe and well
We'll go into a public house and we'll sit and drink like hell
We'll drink strong ale and porter and we'll make the rafters roar
And when our money is all spent, we'll go to sea once more (fine girl you are)

Keep Right on to the End of the Road

As you go through life, it's a long, long road,
There be joy's and sorrows too.
As we journey on, we will sing this song
For the boys in royal blue.
We're often partisan, la, la, la,
We will journey on, la, la, la.

Chorus

Keep right on to the end of the road,
Keep right on to the end.
Though the way be long,  Let your hearts be strong,
Keep right on to the end.
Though you're tired and weary, Still journey on,
Till you come to your happy abode,
With all the love, we'll be dreaming of.
Will be there,   WHERE?
At the end of the Road.
Birmingham! Birmingham!

I also know the s***s song:

VEEEEEEEELA VEEEEEEELA

[CelticGeezeer]

I like that one and this one too

BUILD A BONFIRE
BUILD A BONFIRE
PUT VILLA ON THE TOP
PUT LEICESTER IN THE MIDDLE
AND BURN THE F~~KING LOT

[ifm]

If i had the wings of a sparrow
If i had the wings of a crow
I'd fly over V** tomorrow
And s*** on the b******* below below!

[BigTomatoes]

 Hail Hail the Celts are here
 What the hell do we care ?
 What the hell do we care ?
 Hail
 Hail
 The Celts are here.
 What the hell do we care now.

 For it's a grand old team to play for.
 For it's a grand old team to see.
 And if you know your history.
 Its enough to make heart grow - oh - oh - oh
 We dont care what the animals say.
 What the hell do we care.

 For we only know that there's gonna be a show

 And the Glasgow Celtic will be there.

[Nakor]

This one always stuck in my head, for about 15 years it seems.  I have no idea why.

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly
Have you ever heard of Highbury
Bill said no I don't think so
But I have heard of
The Pontoon Grimsby

[BigTomatoes]
