    The best version of this song is the one by the Compagnons de la Chanson – but I didn’t want to risk post-Brexit deportation by substituting my own French lyrics for their original ones. So here’s a re-write of the English version, called The Three Bells, (we always called it Jimmy Brown, the name of the central character in the narrative) sung by the Browns, dated 60 years ago! Ah 21 years old! Those were the days!



    Jimmy Brown > Harry Kane

    In a stadium, hidden just off the High Road,
    A new career for Spurs was made,
    ’Cos there, in an EL fixture,
    Our own Harry Kane first played. :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    (Bong, bong, bong, bong)

    All the Tottnam songs were ringing
    Round the ground at White Hart Lane
    And the name that they were singing
    Was their hero, Harry Kane! :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    Then the Tottnam congregation
    Thought he’d come down from above
    They were filled with adulation –
    “Could this be our club’s salvation?”
    Took him to their hearts with love. <smooch>

    In a stadium, hidden back of the High Road,
    Among the shopfronts, sad and grim,
    ’Twas there, just four years thereafter,
    Alli played alongside him! <double>
    (Bong, bong, bong, bong)

    All the Tottnam fans were singing -
    'Twas a great day once again -
    'Cos they had a new beginning:
    Massive stadium down the Lane!
    Then the Tottnam congregation
    Watched their heroes from above
    They were filled with admiration:
    This would surely mean salvation
    For the team they’d grown to love. :emoticon-0152-heart

    From the stadium dominating the High Road,
    One autumn morning dark and grey,
    A sad manager said farewell –
    Pochettino went his way. :emoticon-0101-sadsm
    (Bong, bong, bong, bong)

    Off he went, poor Pochettino, :emoticon-0153-broke
    With his head now hanging down. :emoticon-0106-cryin
    In came Saint José Mourinho - :emoticon-0131-angel
    Like the smartest show in town! <devil> :emoticon-0164-cash:
    And the Tottnam congregation
    Prayed the team would rise above…
    He belied his reputation! :emoticon-0136-giggl
    No ManU-style altercation!
    He began to show some LOVE! <smooch>
    Prediction: Man Utd 1 Spurs 2 <party><party>
    Scorers: Kane, Alli <applause><applause>
    Cheers, Spurf! <cheers><cheers>

    My old man would have told you straight. This is the one and only version.

    Roy could sing the instructions in a Haynes Manual and make it sound like it was written by the angels...
