Terrace chants from the 80s

[the-farmer]

sorry if this has been done before, but it seemed appropriate with Small Heath in the position they are in
IIRC we sung this in the mid 80s in the Holte, Ron Saunders had left Villa & ended up at the Blues, Noel Blake left Villa for Blues & allegedly stole a watch ? I think

"there's a circus come to town_come to town
Ronnie Saunders is a clown_is a clown
No_el Blake is a f*ckin th*ef
and Birmingham are going down_going down

who else remembers it ?

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

I will go back further.

Whose that knocking on the window ?
Whose that knocking on the door ?
Its Freddie Goodwin and his mob selling Vincent for a bob.
And they wont beat the Villa any more.

With a razor and sawn off shotgun
Tiptoe through the Tilton

I remember singing to opposition players who were down injured - "your going home like Sandy Richardson" in reference to the crippled guy on Crossroads. During an ambulance strike this was changed to "your going home in an army ambulance". I always liked - to the tune of theres a hole in your bucket singing "theres a hole in your heart dear Asa" to Asa Hartford and after being done for indecent exposure to a young lady in a night club i distinctly remember joining in to sing to Bryan Robson - "Robson, Robson - show us your dick"

[Damo70]

It might be my memory playing tricks but I seem to recall we were the first team to play Arsenal after Tony Adams got sent down (just before xmas 1990 0r 1991?) and we had fun singing "wheres your donkey gone" - nice nativity link but i think that went over my head at the time.

As I recall, the Sandy Richardson and St Johns ambulance chants were what the home fans used to sing to the away support, rather than an opposition player.

Nigel Spinks rolls the ball to Birchy....

My 3-yr old knows all the words to that now!

We sang feather and water pistol rather than razor and gun.

You must have been with the real nutters.

[Simba]

Definitely Razor and shotgun. Dammit I found myself singing this last week while washing the bloody car!

Andy,  remember the policeman's horse song: On his 'orse, on his 'orse - he was saying gooodbye to his 'orse, and as he was saying goodbye to his 'orse , he was saying goodbye to his 'orse. WTF?

And then (to campdown races tune)  the: Who's that copper with the helmet on -Dixon, Dixon . rpt. Dixon of Dock Green. On the beat all day- on the wife all night, who's that copper etc etc.

[willywombat]

Brilliant Simba! Had forgotten the 'orse. Here's another one from the old days:
Strolling, just strolling,
by the light of the silvery moon,
Now I dont envy the rich
In their automobiles
A motor car is phoney
I'd rather shag a pony
When I'm strolling, just strolling
By the light of the silvery moon.....

Close my eyes and I can still see the AV floodlights and hear the rain hammering on the roof of the Holte End

I think this one is from the 80s,only know the end of it

'..and in the final minute,the referee blew up,
   and now those bluesnose bastards are out the F.A cup,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha,ha.'

[Nev]

There was a team called City,
They come from Birmingham.
They got knocked out the FA Cup,
By Non-League Altrincham.
It was in the final minute,
The referee blew up.
And now those blue and white bastards
Are out the FA Cup
Oooh ah ha ha ha ha etc etc.

Altrincham was replaced with Harriers in honour of Kiddie repeating the feat and Blue and White seemed to change to Blue Nose.

The tune was the laughing policeman.

One that has gone without trace was the very eighties:

Ooohwaay ohway ohway ohway, Villaaaa, Villaaa. Although most teams had their own version.

Re the Altrincham line, the original version was Alec Stock's Fulham, after a rather pleasing last minute semi final defeat for the Blues in 1975

[Chris Smith]

Bring on the champions, champions of Europe...

We all hate Blues and Blues and Blues,
Blues and Blues and Blues and Blues
We all fuckin' hate Blues...

Come to Birmingham and you will see,
Ansells brewery, M & B,
We don't drink whisky and we don't drink rum,
We the boot boys, from Brum.

[adrenachrome]

Yummy yummy yummy
Oh I hate Beau Brummie
And I feel like I wanna spew
You can stick your Trevor Hockey and your Pickering
Coz you don't know where they've been
