Old songs

[Silva Citizen]

When he gets the ball he does fuck all Gary Gary Shaw ... perhaps we could bring that back obviously changing Gary to Luke

 

[manclad]

It is to the tune of Voulez Vous
Bernardo
Running down the wing
Silva
Makes the blue boys sing
Silva
We’re the Pride of Manchester

Cheers pal. Much appreciated.
I can try and join in the next time I hear it sung at a live game.

 

[Stiff Little Wingers]

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
Oh I do like to be beside the sea
Oh I do like to walk along the prom, prom, prom
Where the brass band plays......
Fuck off West Brom, fuck off West Brom

Doesn’t really work with other teams

 

[BrianW]

We're from the Kippax Street
And we admire defeat
When it comes to boys who play in blue and white
The blues are here to stay
That's what the people say
We are the greatest team
That the world has ever seen
Na, na, na, na (etc)

I also vaguely remember one that was based on "We're off to Dublin in the Green" but it started "We're off to Wembley in the blue"

The words I don't recall, but it ended: "When Law says 'fuck, we lost the cup'; you'll hear the Kippax sing; Bollocks United! (repeated several times over.)

 

[BrianW]

Bertie Mee said to Joe Mercer '"Have you heard of the North Bank at Highbury?'" '"No'" says Joe, '"I don't think so.'" '"But I've heard of the North Bank, Manchester.'"

I think this can possibly be dated to the first year of the new North Stand, when it was used for standing and much of the Kippax temporarily defected to it.

 

[Gaz1105]

always loved vs forest

If you’ve shagged maid Marion, clap your hands

 

[plattlanebenches]

Man city
Man city
We’ll support you evermore
We’ll support you evermore

Was always sung when we knew we were going to lose so quite a lot back in the 80’s

 

[paulchapo]

Sang a few minutes before the end of the game to the away fans.
"It's time for you to run, it's time for you to run, it's time for you to run......so fuck off!!"

One loud voice. "Zigger zagger, zagger, oi,oi,oi, zigger zagger zigger zagger oi,oi,oi!" Then the crowd would join in, "One,two threes, four, listen to the kippax roar,City!"

 

[salford blue 62]

Our lowest moment was singing ...Keegan Keegan hows your Dad. Still don’t understand why he ever chose to associate himself with us after that.

I remember the game we sang that,it was a night match.

 

[m7mcfc]

When an opposition player was receiving medical attention I always remember a chorus of "Let him die"

 

[radcliffe1309]

The song sung at a derby for me (and even made the rags laugh)
Who's up Mrs Brown
Who's up Mrs Brown
Tommy Tommy Docherty
Tommy Tommy Docherty

Not long after he was caught out with Lawrie Brown's wife ....quality !

 

[Ribchester]

I remember the game we sang that,it was a night match.

It was 29th Dec 1976 his dad had died earlier that month. Drew 1-1

 

[Ribchester]

Thought it was ‘with a pick axe and a sawn off shot gun’

You might be right seeing as we don’t carry razors anyway lol

 

[urban genie]

We hate George Best and we hate George Best
We hate George Best and we hate George Best
We hate George Best and we hate George Best
We are the George Best, haters.

Or in the later years.


Have you had another stella georgie best
Have you had another stella georgie best
Have you had another stella
Your livers turning yellow
So have another stella georgie best

And yet another: (Excerpt from a Teenage Opera)

Joe Mer-cerrrr, Joe Mer-cerrr

Liverpool 1-1,Watson og.

 

[Ribchester]

Vaguely remember something along these lines;
Standing in the north stand one fine day
The boys in blue came out to play
The day was fine the sky was bright it was a great day to fight,
So we went down the Platt lane just to see cockneys standing two by three, boots and braces half inch thick , it was a massacre they died
So we went round maine road swinging our chains, called it a cockney d day.

Version I know is from 71/72 the one season we stood on the north stand

we were standing in the north stand one fine day
When the boys in blue came out to play
The sky was clear and the sun was bright
It was a great day to fight.

so we looked in the Kippax just to see
Cockneys (or red shite) coming in 3 by 3
Boots and braces half an inch wide
All those cockneys they died.

then we walked round Maine road swinging our chains
Some lay dead and some lay slain
Some tried to run but that didn’t get away
And we called it the cockney d day

well a bowed legged chicken and a knock kneed hen
We ain’t had a scrap since we don’t know when
We don’t give a fuck cos we’re all pissed up
M C F C. ok
