    Can't believe, they ever said
    We couldn't reach for the FA Cup
    But Hull City are at Wem ber ley

    Black and Amber, everywhere
    Folk in London can only stare
    Hull City are at Wem ber ley

    This is the bit where the tune changes
    So raise your voices, Tigers
    Let the football world know
    We're going to give you
    One hell of a show
    Now back to the 'ordinary' part of the tune - if you know what I mean.

    You're about to see, what it's like to be
    Mauled by the Tigers at Wem ber ley
    Yes Hull City are at Wem ber ley

    On the FA Cup, our name will be
    Hull, City, AFC
    Hull City are at Wem ber ley
    Hull City are at Wem ber ley

    This is a good question.

    I don’t like it either and find it cringeworthy mainly because an anthem should be your own and that song is used by at least one other significant team.

    I think it first emerged in the mid to late ‘90s (can’t remember exactly) on the terraces and then latterly Pearson picked up on it and the club started using it.

    Unclear as to why it started, probably the usual of hearing it elsewhere and transplanting it here. Although, I think UB40 released some sort of rank version of it in the ‘90s too – but hopefully that played no part.

    Well, at least it's something to sing but what's wrong with something a bit original?
    I like London Tigers idea about "5 foot 2". Even if if you don't like my hastily arranged lyrics, (a few posts up) someone else can have a go but I have tried to work in a few of the things that make us unique.

    Hate Keith Allen, Alex James and ‘them lot’.

    ****s totale.

    I remember when they released that song, Allen arrogantly said something like: ‘we expect it to be bastardised by fans across the country who’ll sing it at their own clubs after the World Cup’.

    Pleasingly, as far as I’m aware, no **** ever did.

    Perhaps, the cup final song could just be 3 minutes of heavy duty, obtuse white noise and be explictly advertised as such.

    But, the real cup final song (that of the ilk of the 70s/80s) could be hidden within it and would be compacted to last only one second in real time.

    Those in the know could then use equipment to expand that one second and listen to the full Hull City Cup Final song (probably lasting circa 3 mins too, verse/chorus/verse/chorus etc) without the embarrassment caused by a usual full scale cup final song*

    * Might contain a rap by Sagbo for the kids.

    It's embarrassing that some think we should parrot Sunderland's dirge.
