Yep, we stole the famous colours off them  ;D

I wonder if we will sing two verses or just the one?

This could be the words if we sing two verses:

The bells are ringing for the claret and blue
Claret and blue (chanted)
Claret and blue (chanted)
The fans are singing for the claret and blue
Claret and blue (chanted)
Claret and blue (chanted)
Everybody is knowing,
To the Villa we're going
Where the Villa are showing
We`re the best in the land
BEST IN THE LAND!! (chanted)

We`re congregating for the claret and blue
Claret and blue (chanted)
Claret and blue (chanted)
The fans are waiting for the claret and blue
Claret and blue (chanted)
Claret and blue (chanted)
And some day, we`re gonna score a little goal or two, or three or four or more
For Villa, and the claret and blue
Claret and blue (chanted)
Claret and blue (chanted)

Sung in the same way as the West Ham soundtrack version (
) it could be a winner...

The West ham version sounds like someone just died.

It's awful isn't it ( the West Ham one) .

It would sound better if sung s-l-o-w-l-y to begin with then sped up ...

Ours is no better. It might be nostalgic for some, but it's a bloody awful song.

Sorry apyadg but you're 100% wrong.  Our best anthem without a doubt and has the bonus of being able to be sung a number of different ways

I like the first verse from back in the day, 2nd verse is a bit shit.

Plus West Ham were singing their version as far back as 1975 which I think may be before us.

Anyway who needs an anthem just a decent game of football would do me
