We have. It's "feed the Hare and he will score." Unfortunately he has left.

Not being funny but why do we need one? If we do have one then it needs to be as corny as they come, something which you'd be embarrassed to be associated with in any normal situation but which you and 40,000 others can lose yourself on for a few fleeting moments.  There is only one answer and I've suggested this before but its got be Rolf Harris and two little boys.  Nurse pass the crack pipe.....

We do, its called 'The Bells Are Ringing'. For some reason, its not sung any more. It was great singing it in the 80's at away grounds.

We do still try and sing it, but as it doesn't contain any reference to Birmingham City nobody tends to join in.

I've been going to the Villa since 1988 and I don't know the words. Therein lies the problem.

One version:

The bells are ringing for the claret and blue,
The fans are singing for the claret and blue,
Everybody is knowing,
To the Villa we are going,
Cause the Villa are showing,
We're the best in the land.
BEST IN THE LAND!!

I presume then that that will be followed by postings containing slight variations?
