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)


Lines 2 and 4 were "It's up the Holte, we go".

I'm also old to remember when the last line was:
"And we will the Champions of League Division 3".

I also remember for one season only, the final line of this (admittedly only really at away games) being "We're all doing the Schmeichel dance", whilst accompanying it with his trademark save pose of arms/legs outstretched

What about...

We love The Villa but...
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!

I know we're Villa, but...
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!

We're Villa till we die but...
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
We always sing about Birmingham City!
You hum it son and I'll play it

Thanks Mortimer’s bear, Adrenachrome, Mellin.
I remember the Division 3 variant and just had a laugh at the thought of the Schmeichel dance!

I still cannot believe we have not adopted a rousing version of "let it be" to honour our genius SUE

I've always thought "Can't help falling in love with you" would be brilliant blasted out by the Holte End.

“Can’t help falling in love with you” is song by the Makems, and others.

“The Impossible Dream” (Andy Williams) now that would be a tune to hear from the Holte End in full voice. UTV

I think The Impossible Dream is from Man Of La Mancha, which is about Don Quixote. Spanish, or what!!

I can't help feeling it might seem a bit Scouse.

It would end up sounding like a drum & bass song.

I'll settle right now for the Holte blasting out on Thursday night 'Yaxley-Lennon, what a wanker!'.
