It would be hard to sing that at COMS at cup games! :)
 
'If I had the wings of a sparrow
And I had the arse of a crow
I'd fly right over Old Trafford
And sh*t on the b*stards below, below
Sh*t on the b*astards below . . '
 
My favorite was

His name is Colin Bell
from Bury he did come
To play for old Joe Mercers team
back in division one

And when you walk down Main Road
you'll always hear the cry
We are the best team in the land
that no one can deny

There's a good song archive on http://mcivta.com/lyrics.html
 
Oh me lads you should have seen 'em running
Running from the Stretford End the Kippax Boys were coming
All those manU bastards with blood upon their faces
Running down the Warwick Road
To find the first aid places

(to the tune of seasons in the sun)
We had joy we had fun we had Tottenham on the run
But the joy didn't last coz the bastards ran too fast

Ooh Aah Vonk. Say Ooh Aah Vonk.

(to the tune of some Russian Kossak song)
Imray...Imray Verardi, Imray Verardi. Imray Veeeraaardi. Aye.

Shaun Wright Phillips is f*cking Brilliant.
We sold him for 20 million.
Bought him back for just 9 million.
Stupid Chelsea bastards.

(to the darts theme)
Oh Adebayor, he shoots he scores and City Sing
Oi Oi Oi.

There was also a Joey Barton song that was quite good but I can't remember it. I think there's a You Tube clip of some City fans singing in a mini bus and walking to the ground one derby day. Barton's name could be replaced with any current player. Can anyone remember it?
 
Manchester City, Manchester City FC,Were by far the greatest team,the world has ever seen.

You are my City,My Only City,you make me happy,When skies are grey etc...

The shit of Man Utd went to Rome to see the Pope.(Rarely heard)

Bobby Mancs Blue and White army.....Bobby mancs blueand white army.
 
How about this one!

Niall Quinns disco pants are the best
They come up from his arse to his chest
Niall Quinns disco pants are best
Niall Quinns Disco Pants!!!!!!!!

City City City!!!!

Lol
 
There's only one Kevin Keegan, Only one Kevin Keegan. Walking along, singing a song. Walking in a Keegan Wonderland.

(Ali and Berkovic to tune of Yellow Submarine)
We're going up with an Arab and a Jew

Singing Aye Aye Yippie Sun Ji-hi
Singing Aye Aye Yippie Sun Ji-hi
Singing Aye Aye Yippie
He's dad's got a Chippy
Aye Aye Yippie Sun Ji-hi

We've got Kevin Keegan, One hundred goals a season.
Na na na na. Na na na na.
 
"Who said City couldn't play, City couldn't play football?!"

I've seen some old black+white footage somewhere of the 1934 FA Cup winners parade and after the Sam Cowan speach with the Mayor the fans all sing this song. Makes me wonder what else used to be sung years back. Wonder if Gary James knows...
 
We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too and West Brom
We hate Manchester United
But City we love you

Oh I do like to walk beside the seaside
Oh I do like to walk beside the sea
Oh I do like to walk along the prom, prom, prom
With the brass band playing
Fuck off West Brom

Peter Swales's a wanker
He wears a wankers hat
and when he wears it back to front
He looks a fucking twat

Now this one should be changed to "Ferguson"
 
Blue moon....oh shit, we still sing that one, don't we?

Forgive me Dalilah, I just couldn't take any more...oops, wrong team.

He's here, he's there
He's every fucking where
Tommy Booth, Tommy Booth...

Dennis Tueart walks on water...

Joe, Joe, Joe, Joe Corrigan...

Thread of the year, so far

In the pre-Maine Road days they tended to sing local songs that weren't City specific (things like "Lassie From Lancashire" which still made an apprearance at the 56 Cup Final).

There were popular 'shouts' like "Keep Chasing the Pigeons Toseland" which I think tied in with birds on the pitch at one particular game but somehow stuck (like so many chants the reason often is not directly tied in with a significant football specific moment).

There are reports of songs being sung at City in the early 1900s for Billy Meredith. Apparently this was sung on the Hyde Road terraces in 1904:

Oh I wish I was you Billy Meredith
I wish I was you, I envy you, indeed I do!
It ain’t that you’re tricky with your feet,
But it’s those centres that you send in
Which Turnbull then heads in,
Oh I wish I was you,
Indeed I do,
Indeed I do….

I think there were other chant like songs sung though they didn't get recorded. We only know about that song from 34 because it's on that great bit of film.

I am intrigued by a cartoon strip I found from a Manchester derby game in 1906. I used it on page 68 of "Manchester The Greatest City" and comment about it on p69. It shows 3 drawings of City star Bill Eadie and the caption says: "Eadie was here... there... and everywhere." It's impossible to prove but I reckon that may have been a very early form of the more modern "He's here, he's there, he's every....." and that the artist who drew the cartoon was capturing the atmoshere.
