'This City is Ours' song

[twosips]

Hey blues

Just wondering if anyone knows the tune that this song is based on? Asked about and seems no one knows! Is it just a football chant or is it based on an actual song?

Very polite of you EB. I want to be polite too but I can't when singing about the rags; )

Paperboy, fuck off home
To the place that you came from
Back to Norway, posting papers
Paperboy, fuck off home.

First fans I remember singing to this tune were Fulham when they played at Loftus Road, who sang “I wanna go home, I wanna go home, take us back to the Cottage, I wanna go home”.

Then the Rags who sang “we pay for your home, we pay for your home, what a waste of council tax, we pay for your home” at us. Funny ****s

We presumably nicked it from Fulham and changed it to Your towns a shithole I wanna go home.

Anyway, why are we letting kids start threads, I bet he had to google 'The Beach Boys'

Sure I read on here recently that the “City City the best team in the land and all the world’’ tune was taken from the 60s film The Viking’s
