To get us in the mood for the big Boxing Day clash let's have your City songs old and new. Please include the era they were sung and the tune if poss. To start with who knows the full lyrics to the YRA (Yorkshire's Republican Army) song from the 80s?
Found this on an Manc site, but we used to adapt it to every oppsition possible (Sheffield, Doncaster etc) In your Liverpool slums, You look in the dustbin for something to eat, You find a dead rat and you think it's a treat, In your Liverpool slums In your Liverpool slums, You **** on the carpet, you piss in the bath, You finger your grandma, and think its a laugh, In your Liverpool slums. In your Liverpool slums, You speak in an accent exceedingly rare, You wear a pink tracksuit and have curly hair, In your Liverpool slums. In your Liverpool slums, Your mum's on the game and your dad's in the nick, You can't get a job 'cos you're too ****ing thick, In your Liverpool slums.
**** off Terry D You took us to Division 3 You're a **** football manager and so is Jeff Lee..eeeeeeeee
Is this the YRA one you mean? Still gets a run out a few times a season. YRA, we're Yorkshire's Republican Army, we're Barmy Where ever we go we fear no foe 'cos we are the YRA
That's the one. I also always admired the incredibly brave (or more likely pi55ed) bloke who sang at the top of his voice all alone: Give us a CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (stretching out the letter as long as his breath lasted) Then the East stand responded; CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII....(Dragged out even longer than the 'C') and so on until AND WHAT HAVE YOI GOT? Then the East stand at top volume; CITY - clap clap clap - clap clap clap clap - CITY!! simple but effective.
always makes me laugh that one, because everybody does do tigers now, but you can always hear a few grumblings dotted around, "no it doesnt, cant you ****ing spell"
Yeah when i had mates come with me to matches they like to point that out to me i just tell them to shut up and join in haha
one of my favourites i hardly ever heard sang much, but i remember it at barnet and couldnt get it out my head all the way home to the tune of, oh what a night oh musslewhite greatest keeper in division three another clean sheet for the hull city oh what a keeper, musslewhite.. made funnier by the fact after singing it all 2nd half we conceded a late goal..
oh alexander oh alexander you make me happy when skies are grey who needs zamora cos you score more-a please dont take alexander away.. quality bit of rhyming
Can't remember the tune now but what was the one about Jimmy Graham, he's got no hair and we don't care ?
One man and his dog (Spot) went to mow a meadow One man, two men, three men, four men, five men, six men and his dog (Spot) went to mow a meadow. What was that all about?
the old brigade song that is often sung now by the chosen few to Bread of Heaven at away games: Pies from skeltons........... Tower for an hour..............Haha..... etc. full lyrics anyone?
Pretty much as you had it: Jimmy graham, jimmy graham, jimmy jimmy graham. He's got no hair but we don't care, jimmy jimmy graham
mussiesredhat;1929709]the old brigade song that is often sung now by the chosen few to Bread of Heaven at away games: Pies from skeltons........... Tower for an hour..............Haha..... etc. Without doubt this is my favourite city song, I haven't heard it for years, I think the last time I heard it was at Luton sow years ago. I also quite like, 'The Lion sleeps tonight' last time I can remember singing this was at Barnet, after we sung it we drew! Lol
