Great lyrics those,whoever came up with them must have been a genius lyricist. I must confess I have never heard it sung by anybody,whether in the pub or at a game.Love this song,iv got it on an Mp3 with city lads singing it,to the tune of matchstick men
We were born in gorton,we moved to moss side
from there our name spread far and wide
everybody's seen a sky blue shirt
from old aged men with hair like snow
to 5 years olds who beg to go
stood side by side
they watch their team with pride
And people ask you who you support and you tell em
and they dont know why,why ?
doesn't matter if theyv'e won or lost
just as long as they tried
no man u or aresenal for me
its Bell Lee Summerbee
i'll be a kippax kid
until the day i die
na na na na na na na na na na City
It must be from the late 70s/early 80s as Brian and Michael had the original song as a hit in 1978.
Also fitting that a pop tune that has been adopted to a football song,is about a very well known City fan, L.S Lowry.
