Vintage Songs

[Andy_Lochhead_in_the_air]

The City fans will never mock
When they remember Bruce Rioch

Tip Toe through the Tilton
With a feather and a water pistol
Tip Toe through the Tilton with me

Who's that knocking on the window
Who's that knocking on the door
It's Freddy Goodwin and his mob
Selling Vincent for a bob
And they won't beat the Villa any more 

[wittonwarrior]

Pass the ball back pass the ball back pass the ball back wanderers

Sammy Sammy Chung and his chinese take away

Willie Willie Bell and his homosexuals

[silhillvilla]

You Reds are Dead
You Reds are Dead

Sung to Liverpool fans during the 0-3 home defeat in 1977/78

[Pat McMahon]

this song went to the tune of the halls of montezuma an american marching song

 from the stand at leeds united
to the shelf at white hart lane
we will always follow the villa
were the greatest in the game
and where ever you may wander
there will be none that can compare
to the aston villa holte end and the fans that go on there

Same tune, different lyrics was an ld song, ( slightly tongue in cheek I think)

Some say Peter McParland
Was the best that they have seen
Other say that Andy Gray
Was the greatest there has been
But for those of us who saw him
There was no one to compare
With zigger zagger zigger David Geddis in the air

Best of all is a Holte End Lament. Cue Percy from stage left.....

[Dave Clark Five]

Vic Crowe put Chris Nicholl in
Just to see the Villa win
All I want to hear from you is Villa, Villa, Villa.

.......

Na na na na
Na na na na
Hey hey
Andy Lochhead.

.........

Who's that copper with the helmet on?
Dixon, Dixon.
Who's that copper with the helmet on?
Dixon of Dock Green.

On the beat all day.
On the wife all night.
Who's that copper with the helmet on?
Dixon of Dock Green.

The Board Must Go!
The Board Must Go!
(Circa 1968)

[BC54 VFC]

Score, Villa score. Once you get one you'll get more. We'll sing you a (never sussed the next bit) when we get to Wembley. Was the bit I could never work out as a kid 'assembly'?.

.....We'll see you assembling when we get to Wembley.....So, score Villa score.

[Percy McCarthy]

Here I am, sorry I'm late.

One day as I walked up the steps of the Holte End
As I walked up to the Holte End one day,
I spied a poor Blues fan all cut up in ribbons
All cut up in ribbons and shit on they say.

I said to that Blues fan what have they done to you
And why have they treated you in such a way
He said all I did sir was come up the Holte End
And say Aston Villa were old men at play

The Holte End dain't like it, they rose up to fight it
They kicked him in the bollocks, they kicked him in the head
And now that poor Blues fan is pushing up daisies
He's pushing up daisies he's so fucking dead.

Now let that be a lesson to all of you Blues fans
Who come up the Holte End to sing and to fray
If you say one word against our Aston Villa
Then they'll be the last words that you ever say.

[Percy McCarthy]

Went walking down the Witton Lane one dark and dusky day
I spied a poor City fan a-running far away
I said to that poor City fan it's time for you to die
He said yes I know sir
Holte Enders in the sky

He ran down the terraces and fell towards the gate
Little did he know that death was sure to be his fate
He had one more short hour to live and then he'd hear the cry
That ev'ry City fan does fear
Holte Enders in the sky

Their fists were just like granite and their pockets lined with lead
And if they catch a City fan he's sure to wind up dead
Cuz Villa fans rule Birmingham and City fans know why
Cuz they have seen the glory of
Holte Enders in the sky

Yippee-aye-aaaa
Yippee-aye-ooooo
Etc.

Who's up Mary Brown?
Who's up Mary Brown?
Tommy Tommy Docherty
Who the fuckin 'ell is he?

[Bernie]

Bring out Leeds & Man. United
Bring on the Spaniards by the score
Barcelona, Real Madrid they will make a gallant bid
But they won't beat the Villa any more...ore ...ore
They won't beat the Villa any more


We're just one of those teams that you get now & then
We'll let you score one then we'll go & score ten
Now come up the Holte End 'cos we're quite a crowd
We sing & we chant & we're ever so loud*
We're just one of those teams that you wish you had got
But we're one of those teams you have not
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.................................

* this line is best sung in a rather camp manner

Is there a prize for the most short lived and half hearted song? To the tune of the airline advert -

We'll take more care of you
Curbishley, Curbishley

I never got to sing any of these songs at Villa due to, well, not being alive, but I too would like to see more of a communal choir thing. However, it does have to grow organically - you recall the debacle with the funereal bells in the Houllier season when we were all meant to take it as a cue to sing 'The Bells Are Ringing'. Sadly, I don't think many clubs have the gumption to sing new terrace songs these days.
