SWANS' WAR SONG LYRICS
Look out here comes a crowd of jolly fellows all looking gay. Bent on a visit to the football field to watch two teams play

Which side they favour you will quickly know when both lots turn out. For when " Nick " or Hamilton lead their boys upon the field

You'll hear them loudly shout:

Chorus: We are the Swans' supporters, we are the village boys

When our team is playing, hear us all hurrahing. Shouting, Coleman, now then, SHOOT for goal, man

Now, Bally, pass it to Swarby, Jimmy don't shoot too far; IT'S IN ! (ha! ha!) we grin (ha! ha!) we make an awful din as we all shout hurrah!

If we should travel by excursion when our boys play away. Our antics create much diversion, for you'll hear people say:

Who are those noisy lot of bounders who command all the train?

The word goes round that they don't know who we are. Then we all sing this refrain..."

 

I saw this earlier - sounds all very quaint. Football fans must have been a bit more polite back then.

"Good shot, fellow."

"Goal! Well done."

"The referee is less than reputable! The referee is less than reputable!"

 

Was at the Swansea Maritime museum recently and there was a small exhibition of 100 years of the Swans which included a copy of that song on display which I found highly amusing. How times have changed....

 

BOUNDERS????????? At least we weren't cads or rotters!

 

The referee's an awful chap!
The referee's an awful chap!

 

Can't imagine how difficult away trips were in those days. Must have taken forever. Old chap.

 

Coleman is looking good for his age mind,

 

here is a copy from 1913

You're of below mediocre ability, and one knows they are, you're of below mediocre ability, and one knows they are!

 

but we were gay it seems

 

There was no such ting as gay 100 years ago mate! back then gay=happy ha ha!

 

It seems Gay doesn't exist out here in Australia even now mate. We have an ice cream lolly called Golden Gaytime and there also a range of wafer biscuits called Gaiety......
all references to said happiness haha

Didn't know Aussies liked the beautiful game?

 

Oh I'm not an Aussie !! I've only been out here a few months. Hate being so far away from the Swans. I'm Port Talbot guy really.
