[Nev]

It's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here, it's nice to know you're here.




Now fuck off.

[Captain Caveman]

but before that...Knees up Mother Brown, accompanied by a mass rumbling across the top section of The Holte as everyone did in fact get their knees up.  I used to go home bruised all over.

I used to love that as a youngster standing in the Holte. It was usually followed by ' The Left Side' 'The Right Side'

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Glory our Saviour, give us a goal.

[indicawarrior]

There was a team called city they came from Birmingham,
got knocked out of the F.A.cup by Alex Stocks' Fulham.
Twas in the final minute the referee blew up,
and now those Bluenose bast***s are out the F.A.cup!
OOOH AH HA HA HA HA HA
HA HA HA HA HA

TO THE TUNE OF THE LAUGHING POLICEMAN

[Rioch is King]

We are the famous, the famous Holte end (clap, clap, clap clap)

and 'La la la lalalala lalalala Villa' to the tune of Hey Jude used to sound good.

[Richie]

As per indicawarrior.............. but replacing Alex Stock's Fulham with non-league Altrincham.

[Dave Clark Five]

Oh a knock-kneed chicken and a bow-legged hen
They ain't had it off since I don't know when
They walk with a wiggle and a waggle and a squawk
Doing the Villa Boot Walk

La la la la etc

[steamer]

The strangest one I remember from my first visits to villa park in the late 60,s was , " goodbye horse,goodbye horse,he was saying good bye to his horse and has he was saying goodbye to his horse he was saying goodbye to his horse"
Never worked that one out.

Another oldie, to the tune of Wandering Star and Lee Marvin, " I was born under the Holte End stand, I was born under the Holte End stand,
boots were made for kicking, etc etc"

Most of the old favourites can be heared in the Aston Social before any home game.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

One usually saved for victorious cup finals..

We'll be running 'round the Bullring with the Cup (pissed up!)
We'll be running 'round the Bullring with the Cup (pissed up!)
We'll be running 'round the Bullring,
running 'round the Bullring,
running 'round the Bullring with the Cup (pissed up!)

[class_of_82]

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

[curlytailavfc]

[wittonwarrior]

come down any old time down to Villa Park
The board of directors will show you around
In Aston there saying we Wembley bound
Steeped in tradition are we
We've won the cup 7 times
So sing up the terraces
Sing up on the stands
Sing up for Villa up

We're the Villa

Villa Villa

[russon]

We won the league we won the cup
we won the league we won the cup
we won the league we won the cup
and Ronnie Bendall fu#!ed it up

[FrankyH]

"Seat Agrro Seat Agrro"

The Holte Ends musical comment on any fights that broke out in the seated areas of Villa Park-usually Trinity lower.

[Dave P]

Berty Mee said to Bill Shankly,
"Have you heard of the North Bank, Highbury ?"
Shanks said "No, I don't think so,
But I've heard of the Villa .... AGRO !"
