Songs that you sing

**Anto McC** · 01/05/2005, 7:30 PM

In regards to fans singing songs i feel we are ahead of our premership counterparts who mostly just stick to the usual songs(glory glory man utd,come on you spurs etc.)and i was just wondering if we could get posters from a few different clubs to post original and funny songs that your fans sing at other fans or at other players or songs praising your own players.

Bearing in mind that there will be songs that will may to offend some sets of fans i don't want anyone to take personal offence and if you feel you will take offence please leave this thread now.

It just that some of the songs are very funny but it is very hard to hear all the words when your at the games.I don't know if this thread will be allowed and i don't want anyone to be offended but this is a thread i would really like to see.

Heard it at UCD Vs Waterford Utd a few years back. Sounded good thru the megaphone:

"We don't buy your crystal
we don't buy your crystal
La la la la
la la la la"

to tune: Youll never walk alone

...and You'll never walk,
in Athlone,
after dark,
without fear in your heart....

same tune to UCD

...and You'll never get, a job
sign on, sign on
with hope in you heart

We, were born, in the Showgrounds,
We, were born, in the Showgrounds,

Where knives are meant for stabbing, and guns are meant to shoot, and if you come down to the Showgrounds, you'll surely get the boot cause,

We, were born, in the Showgrounds,
We, were born, in the Showgrounds,

"Oh there won't be jobs in Derry this Christmas time,
The greatest gift they'll get this year's their dole.
They haven't got a job,
They just walk their skinny dogs,
Do they know it's Christmas time at all?"

Made up on a trip to Buckly Park... 'Tis a long way to Kilkenny

Also this wee gem which was sang at a certain TV pundit during his tenure in the Finn Park hotseat...

"Noel King's disco ties are the best,
you would swear that he'd pucked on his chest,
you see them and you have to wonder why,
Noel King's disco ties"

Our response would be:

To the air of the old Welsh hymn "Bread Of Heaven"

One day you will
One day you will
One day you will Call me boss!

To the tune of the Wild Rover

I've been an auld reds man for many a year
I spent all my money on Shelbourne and Gear
The jersey's,the T-shirts,the scarfs and the hats
Were not Barcelona but at least were not Pats.

**hamish** · 01/05/2005, 11:47 PM

Saw this in the Observer Sports Monthly. The Leeds fans used to sing it against Liverpool. Same tune as Pauloooooooooo Deeeeeeeeee Caneeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooooooo, if you follow me.
"We've got Dom Matteo,
You've got our stereo".

To cork city fans

Small town in munster,
your just a small town in munster,
small town in munster,
your just a small town in munster.

Nearly all songs are a rip off / spin off of some English team. Hardly any EL clubs songs are original

Good one.

We could use that too:

I've been an auld reds man for many a year
I spent all my money on Rovers auld gear
The jersey's,the T-shirts,the scarfs and the hats
We're not Barcelona but at least we're not Harps.

When Bohs won the league in Kilkenny. To the tune of Can't buy me love by the beatles and of course about Ollie Byrne ...

Ollies tried to buy the cup he bought some penalties,
Ollie gives brown envelopes to the referees,
But I dont care too much for ollie coz ollie cant buy the league,
Cant buy the leagueeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nearly sure thats how it went anyways

When the burger van broke down in the away end at Portadown, the girl behind the counter legged it up to the home end to get a few burgers, when passing the away end:

Get your baps out for the lads etc...

When Pat Dolan walked by the new stand in tolka:

You'll never get a job, sign on, sign on...

Police Acadamy tune always puts a smile on my face when a Garda walks by, or when getting a police escort, again at Portadown!

Winning the league at Pats;

We won the league, in inchicore, we won the league in inchicore, we won the league in that ****hole, we won the league in inchicore!!!

Ok, that'll do for now!

Armarillo tune: Sha la la la la la la la,(Drum- Bang Bang)
Sha la la la la la la la, (Drum-Bang Bang)
Sha la la la la la la la, (Drum-Bang Bang)
Bray Wanderers A.F.C.
Sang it before Armarillo was re- released!!!

(2)We all live in a Bray Housing Scheme,
Where all the walls are green,
And Wanderers are the team,
The Sky is Blue,
And So are you,
Alan Reynolds
We hate you!!

Oh skippy woh oh oh, Oh skippy woh oh oh, he comes from far away, he plays for braaaaayyyy(for as long as we want)

Irelands fatest striker, irelands fatest striiiker, your only irelands fatest striker. (Sang to Glen Crowe in the carlisle when he was called up to the Squad)

To Bray fans:
South County Dublin,
your just from sount county dublin,

Used to sing to Derry lads: (hasn't be used for years now)
Whats it like to have a queen.

Last fridays chant of the season so far:
Rovers player gets injured...

"Don't get injured! You won't get paid"

**Da Real Rover** · 02/05/2005, 2:23 PM

Sing this one to any Dublin team,

In your Dublin slums,
In your Dublin slums,
you look in your dustbin for something to eat,
you find a dead rat and think its a treat,
In your Dublin slums,

The old UCD site used to have a fantastic section of comical chants, seemingly always sung at Shelbourne

Very comical read, cant find link now though. Will keep looking!

http://www.ucd.ie/soccsup/shelschants.html -> Excellent chant exchanges here!
