The lyrics are fine, there's no problem there.

I meant they’re wrong. The song is over 50 years old. Here you go:

HEITS

Was walking down the Witton Lane one dark and windy 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 every city fan does fear
Holte Enders in the sky

Their fists felt 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.

I'll put on my favourite Eurosong. Maybe that'll cheer us up.

I know some people are fond of it, but I think it's absolutely shite and I'm very glad the full verses have long ago been left in the 70s where they belong.

Tbh I don't even like the chorus that has become our signature song, but I am at least thankful it is sung for different reasons nowadays.

Apologies if you penned the original Villa version Percy, but it's where I stand.

I'm not a massive fan of HEITS, but at least it's better than The Bells Are Ringing.

Certainly the song.  The forum was hilarious too.  Anyone want a biscuit?

There was one in the 70’s that went,

I - Oh! I - Oh!
We are the Villa Boys.
I - Oh! I - Oh!!
(Can’t remember)
And if you are a City Fan surrender or you’ll die.
We will follow The Villa!

Always a classic. I learned it at school.
( but not very well)

I know this is a thread about a new song being needed but this one sprung to mind from the early 80's and it goes to the tune of The oldest swinger in town :
First verse
"When the Blues are away and there's nothing to do,you take a trip to Dudley zoo, and the monkeys there take the piss out of you, you're the only blues fan in town"
Second verse
"They've tried Saunders and Rioch and Little 'n' all they've had a hundred years and never won fuck all, they've won fuck all still and they never will, you're the only blues fan in town"
I remember about 20 of us singing it to a shirt wearing Blue nose in The Windsor. Poor bloke and I'm pretty sure they had lost that day.
