Old songs

[BigJoe#1]

Away at Peterborough 1981 (I think), to the tune of Ant Music...

So get down to Maine Road and do yourself a favour
Red footballs lost it taste so try another flavour
Man City y y y y
Man City y y y y

"In my Liverpool Home "

We speak with an accent exceedingly rare,
Meet under a statue exceedingly bare,
If you want a Cathedral we've got one to spare,
In my Liverpool Home.

Wasn't this the theme tune to the Liver Birds?

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Not the least bit offensive and from a more innocent age, does anyone remember "2,4,6,8, who do we appreciate?", followed by "A, C, E, S - ACES!" at Belle Vue Speedway?

I like their 'City are a massive club' song. We should sing it back to rags. The irony of it is so sweet nowadays I think.

After west ham in 2014 this was being sung on repeat for a few hrs in the back of fringe, with various tables of blues adding verses as they were remembered.

With much excitment when it got to the curly watts verse, him being a city legend after all ;-)

 

[Indaparkside]

City score city score
Then you’ll hear the crowd road
John bond will be happy
He’ll shit in his nappy
So score city score

 

[Shirley]

Probably the oldest of the lot...

Who said City couldn't play
City couldn't play
City couldn't play
Who said City couldn't play
City couldn't play football

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

She’s here she’s there she’s every fkn where Shilton’s wife

 

[Indaparkside]

Luke Chadwick is the elephant man

 

[Indaparkside]

Comma comma comma comma come on city we’re going up

 

[Rascal]

Probably the oldest of the lot...

Who said City couldn't play
City couldn't play
City couldn't play
Who said City couldn't play
City couldn't play football

Sang in Albert Square after bringing the FA Cup home to Manchester in the 30s

 

[Indaparkside]

Posh spice is a slapper she’s got a hairy beaver
And when she’s shagging beckham
She thinks of Nicky weaver

 

[Rascal]

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I wont forsake you
For another
Until my dying day
I'll always love you
You make me happy
I'll always be by your side

You are my City
My only City
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I'll always love you
You make me happy
please dont take
my City away.

Some words missing, i cant remember it all. I loved that song on the Kippax though. It was magical.

No - different tune altogether.
In My Liverpool Home was a traditional folk song by The Spinners .
The Liver Birds was a made for TV jingle.

 

[BrianW]

Oh, my lads, you should have seen us coming
Fastest team in the land
Just you watch us running
All the Man United fans with scars upon their faces
Walking down the Warwick Road
To find the first aid places.

(An approximation, don't recall the exact words.)

There was a variation which ended

All the City fans with smiles upon their faces
Marching down the Maine Road
To see Joe Mercer's aces.

Something like that, anyway.

Definitely Peterborough, remember singing it while being crushed in that terrace behind the goal.

 

[Indaparkside]

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I wont forsake you
For another
Until my dying day
I'll always love you
You make me happy
I'll always be by your side

You are my City
My only City
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I'll always love you
You make me happy
please dont take
my City away.

The nanananana blues after it was mint

 

[blue b4 the moon]

I'm dreaming of a blue Wembley...

 

[Indaparkside]

I'm dreaming of a blue Wembley...

We don’t dream no more m8

 

[blue b4 the moon]

We don’t dream no more m8

I've liked your post...but with this Covid shit, I suppose we do dream about going there again as fans.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I wont forsake you
For another
Until my dying day
I'll always love you
You make me happy
I'll always be by your side

You are my City
My only City
You make me happy
When skies are grey
I'll always love you
You make me happy
please dont take
my City away.

Slightly different Rasc to how I remember it mate.

You are my City, my only City

You make me happy, when skies are grey

You'll never know just, how much I love you

So please don't take my City away.
