Songs we no longer sing.

Early memories in the Kippax were the many now politically incorrect ditties - only a poor little scouser, who's that lying on the runway, Spurs are on their way to B......!

Also remember the Rangers/Celtic thing we used to chant between ourselves which was quite odd, not forgetting singing part time supporters as all the queues lined up to leave the platt lane end on 80 mins

the second line was even worse.


i remember when i first started to follow city as a youngster i thought people were singing
"we'll drink a drink a drink
to colin mcclink mcclink mcclink,
he's the leader of man city,
he's the greatest inside forward
that the world has ever seen"
i sang it like that for ages, never asking what the fuck mcclink even meant.
haha, what a prannock.

Yep, there I was 13 years old singing songs about beating people up, funny old world sometimes. In context (time period) only as offensive as buy your club burn it down for me though, that was the most cringeworthy thing ever

This was awesome at Maine Road.

Would have loved to have heard this aimed at Clattenberg when he gave that penalty against Sterling in the Spurs game last season.

I remember it as

Who's your father, who's your father, who's your father referee,
You ain't got one, you're a bastard, you're a bastard referee...

Nice eh?
 
Not sure I remember when or where but this sticks in my mind:

Oh they took away my housebrick and my hammer,
They took away my hatchet and my spanner,
But I've still got my boots, my hob nail boots, side by side.

Daft days.
 
Old classics

Ryan Giggs is ilegitimate (though the last verse is inapropriate)

The shitty man united went to rome to see the pope

I had dog his name was rover

Pardoe, pardoe we're off to mexico
with bell and lee and sumerbee
pardoe, pardoe, pardoe

I also remember one about knickers, gobbles and plums but I never sang it so don't remember how it went

Wasn't it where's your father referee ?
That's what I used to sing I think
 
Or the other version, apologies to Brian Kidd, now one of our own.

Kiddo, Kiddo is off to Mexico
To help the wogs clean out the bogs
Kiddo , Kiddo

Or another politically incorrect favourite.

Harry Roberts is our friend ,is our friend
He kills coppers

We would all get arrested these days for singing the above

Well the full version of singing the blues is
verse 1
never felt more like singing the blues
city win united lose
oh city you got me singing the blues
verse 2
never felt more like laughing all night
cause city are great and united are shite
oh city you got me laughing all night
verse 3
never felt more like twating a red
baseball bat around his head
oh city you got me twating a red
verse 3 other version
never felt more like kicking a red
in his head until he's dead
oh city you got me kicking a red

you can see why we dropped the other verses not very civil

Looking back on it the spurs are on their way song was probably the worst song we have ever sung ,absolutely wrong on every level,
If we sung it today it would cause some diplomatic incident.
It actually made the runway song look quite a nice tribute in comparison
 
The 'M and a and N, a C I T a Y, we've got the greatest football team...' and 'Joe Mercer came, we played the game' are absolute gems. I used to love 'Who let the Goat out (or in as the case maybe!) and a chant we should do more to inspire the boys (and shut the opposing fans up) is the legendary 'CITY, CITY, CITY, CITY....' war cry, such as a shame that it has only been heard again in recent times after the (now defunct) 'Poznan', 'It should have been 10', or at the start or end of the game

The 'Istanbul' song should be either another Wembley or Guardiola song and we should re-claim it from those Trafford imposters with immediate effect
 
Always funny watching old motd s or the big match on ITV when the away team scored you can always hear
Your going to get your f***in head kicked in
Straight after

It was so effective - there was real venom in it.

Imagine a live game on Sky or BT with this belting out and Tyler trying to ignore it or Howard 'Rag' Web saying he thinks Mark may have got that wrong.
 
Oh his name is Colin Bell
And from Bury he did come.
To play for old Joe Mercers team back in division one,
And when you walk down Maine Road you'l always hear us cry.
We are the best team in the land which no one can deny.
Lah La lah and so on,,,,,
