Sad to say I was going through the old songs last night and one of the most popular was: If I had the wings of a sparrow, if I had the arse of a crow, I'd fly over L*t*n tomorrow, and **** on the bastards below. Keats it ain't - but more popular at the time
I remember the first verse as: There's a hole in the ceiling, And the oak road is leaking David Pleat's got no money And Eric Morcambe ain't funny...
Si j'avais les ailes d'un piaf Si j'avais le cul d'un corbeau Je survolerais L***n dès demain Et chierais sur les salauds d'en haut,d'en haut! Et chierais sur les salauds d'en haut! (chorus Chiiii-ez! Chiiii-ez! Chiez sur les salauds d'en haut,d'en haut! Chiiii-ez! Chiiii-ez! Chiez sur les salauds d'en haut! Some homework for Frenchie
What was the os? Never used to eat pies - cheese & onion rolls with a pint were my weakness. And I did get involved in the odd skirmish or two - at times they were unavoidable - mainly to help friends, so quite possibly.....
we also use it to the tune of " i was born under a wandering star " sorry leyton orient someone tryed to stab me but this very large guy had a cosh hit him with it
Wasn't me then - wasn't in the habit of carrying weapons. I do, however, have a fair idea who it could have been.
bad crazy times and ii agree with you there are lines that you dont cross and carrying weapons is one of them
over the years there was so many . when milwall went 1 up at the vic they come out with "pl your having a laf" and because they was fighting going down we came back with "champship your having a laf" that was so funny lol
Another song that I just remembered is: Rodney Green is our scoring machine. He's the greatest striker you've ever seen. A sensation, a sensation. Tell it to the Nation! To the tune of The Equals Viva Bobby Joe That was a clean (almost trite) one...... Oh for that sort of creativity these days.....
More chants from the old days : You'll never take the Rookery.. Repeat til bored! Zigger zagger, zagger zagger on your bike! Hark now hear the Watford sing L*t*n ran away And we shall fight forevermore Because of boxing day. Bertie Mee says to Bill Shankley, have you heard of the North bank Highbury? Shanks said no, I don't think so, but I've heard of the Watford Rookery! (dictated!)
It's a long way to Watford Junction, It's a long way to go etc ...and she wheeled her wheelbarrow From Watford to Harrow Singing Clap clap, clap-clap- clap etc
Something like I was born under the Rookery Roof I was born under the Rookery Roof Boots were made for kicking, guns were made to shoot, If you come under the Rookery roof we'll all stick in the boot... ............ad infinitum..
Full version: (with apologies to Hornette) In Watford's fair town, where the girls drop 'em down I first set my eyes on our Kenny Furphy.* As he wheeled his wheelbarrow From Watford to Harrow Singing etc. etc. of course to Molly Malone * (some sang sweet Shirley Furphy - but that was disrespectful) I know it makes no sense - but it scans and rhymes (sort of).
