A song to the tune of

Bye Bye Blackbird.

It ended with

Whats his name ?
Docherty !!!

Instead of Docherty !!! It may have been Chatterly !!!

As I remember it, it was just the lyrics to Bye Bye Blackbird until you got to the line:

Where somebody waits for me
What's his name...Docherty...Docherty...Docherty ad nauseum.

Pretty simple really.

Anyone remember, When the red, red, Robin comes bob,bob,bobbin along
Shoot the bastard, shoot the bastard, shoot the bastard.

Infantile, but that's what it was like in them there olden times.

You'll have to jog my memory on that one Frank.  Doesn't leap out at me.  I don't know if it was the same with you but, we used to make up our own little "ditties" and sing them amongst ourselves.  Some caught on others didn't.  I still find some of them running through my head even now.  Great innit?

to the tune of Bless 'em all:

Goodbye 'orse, goodbye 'orse,
'e was saying goodbye to 'is 'orse
And as 'e was saying goodbye to 'is 'orse 'e was saying goodbye to 'is 'orse

and so on...

bonkers, but we always sang it... a couple of our number started singing it at West Ham a few seasons ago. I had completely forgotten it.

Also remember us chanting "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh"!
And of course "The Left Side"/"The Right Side" against each other.
Fun times! (???)

Now I remember it Frank', how could I forget? I sang it often enough.  Remember the left/right side surely enough.  It got changed to the Holte End/Witton End from time to time too.  Some happy days those.

The Holte End Barbara song...?
Can't remember the beginning but it used to end
"Come on Barbara, Come on Barbara get your knickers down/off

O my wot a rotten song, wot a rotten song, wot a rotten song
O my wot a rotten song
Wot a rotten singer too...ooooooooooooo"

O the fun we had!

At 13 years of age I thought it made me one of the Holte End hardcore!!!
