he came to city from swindon town sha la summerbee little did they know that he was best around sha la summerbee sha la la la summerbee who the f---ing hell is he? the greatest centre forward in history united 1 and city 3 georgie best has got vd

Was it to the Small Faces? My dad said there were two versions, similar words but different tunes

The 1 I remember
We bought a little player from Swindon Town
Little did we now he was England bound
Sha laa laa laa Summerbee,Sha laa laa laa Summerbee

1 year the rags at the derby at the swamp chanted
Who the fukin hell is he

thats when we came back with

the greatest centre forward in history
united 1 city3
geogie best has got vd
he was born in a lavatry

Heres one I remember from the 70s.......
Way back in 1962 we went to Division 2
The stretford end cried out aloud its the end of them sky blues
Joe Mercer came we played the game we went to Rotherham
WE won 1 nil and we were back into Diivision One
Since then .....weve won the league weve won the cup weve been to Europe too
And when we win the cup this year we`ll sing this song to you..........CITY
ALways loved this song.......not sure if the lyrics are spot on

We don't carry razors we don't lead
we only carry hatchets
to bury in your head
we are loyal supporters
fanatics every one
we hate man united
and leeds and leeds and leeds

think it went with a tune named morning town by the seekers , anyone ???

 

[sweeps feet]

We don't carry razors we don't lead
we only carry hatchets
to bury in your head
we are loyal supporters
fanatics every one
we hate man united
and leeds and leeds and leeds

think it went with a tune named morning town by the seekers , anyone ???

Full version what I remember was
When you're feeling tired and lonly and your heart it skips a beat
You'll get your fucking head kicked in if you come in the kippax street
We dont carry razors we dont carry lead we ony carry hatchets to bury in your head
we are loyal supporters fanatics every one
we hate mun united leed and everton
If you come in the parkside youre sure to hear this cry
Get out united bastards get out or else youll die


another one was
His name is georgie best he's a fucking big disgrace
with his red and white handbag and his panties trimmed with lace
as he pranced down th wing he does a littl twirl and dances round the corner flag just like a little girl

to the tune macmamaras band

 

[BlueRockape]

When the red red robin goes bob bob bobin along shoot the bastard shoot the bastard shoot shoot shoot


City boys we are here yo yo city boys we are here shag your women and drink your beer yo yo yo

Thing is, if you start anything like an M an A an N or a Blue Wembley (which I have done!) then every one looks a bit blank, shrug of shoulders and then go...

youeneye!

And start singing the United song, which was funny at first and now seems REALLY SAD!

Georgie Best superstar he walks like a woman and he wears a bra.

I remember this from the 60's and i can tell you that a version replacing Georgie Best with Ryan Giggs is recorded for posterity on the cassette buried in the Eureka (Halifax) time capsule. I know because me and my daughter put it ion there.

 

[bluevengence]

with an A-G-G-R-O into the stretford end we go,
with a bottle, a brick and a barbed wire stick,
cos we are the kippax boot boys...

something like that anyway!

that was wher we clapped our hand

With a knockneed chiken and a bowlegged hen
Aint had a fight since a dont know when
Dont give a wiggle and a dont give a wank
We r the Kippax boot boys
NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NA
NA NA NA, NA NA NA, NA NA NA
WE ARE THE KIPPAX BOOTBOYS

the version i remember is

With a knockneed chicken and a bowlegged hen
We aint been so happy since i dont know when
We walk with a wiggle and wobble and a squawk
Doing the Kippax boot walk




they dont make them like that anymore..

Why do so many Blues get this wrong? Maybe because Gary James got it wrong in "Manchester The Greatest City".

"In 1963 we fell into division two" is the correct opening.
