Mods - Is it possible to arrange a sticky where the lyrics of all the songs can be posted up?

There are many references throughout the threads to the song lyrics and a lot of them are very clever indeed; certainly they are worthy of preservation.

Now whilst a lot of people on the Caf are ST holders, there is an enormous number of us that can rarely if ever actually get to OT for a variety of reasons (geographical, financial, ticket availability etc). Those of us who fall into that category never get to hear the songs in full and it would be good if there was a reference source.
 
City's going down with a billion in the bank

City's going down with a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank.
They're going down, They're going down,
They're going down, They're going down,
They're going down, They're going down,
They're going down, They're going down,
They're going down,
City's going down with a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank, a billion in the bank.

Repeat.



Viva Ronaldo
Viva Ronaldo,
Viva Ronaldo,
Running Down the Wing,
Hear United Sing,
Viva Ronaldo.




Viva John Terry
Viva John Terry,
Viva John Terry,
Could've won the cup,
but he fecked it up,
Viva John Terry.




Follow, Follow, Follow
Follow, Follow, Follow,
United are going to Moscow,
There'll be thousands of reds,
They'll be pissed out their heads,
Cos United are going to Moscow.




Hollow, Hollow, Hollow
Hollow, Hollow, Hollow,
Chelsea's success is fecking hollow,
All the money they took,
From that big Russian crook,
And you'll never win three in a row.



Who's that Man from Argentina?
Who's that Man from Argentina?
Who's that Man we all adore?
Plays with Rooney and with Wes,
He's our superstar Tevez,
And forever with United he will Score



Rossobianchi
From the green and gold, to Rossobianchi
The boys from Old Trafford, mean everything to me
The pride of all Europe, the team above all teams
We are United, and so we all sing

United, United, United, United,
United, United, United, United,

Manchester,Manchester,Manchester,Manches ter
Manchester,Manchester,Manchester,Manches ter,

And He Shits on Fabregas.

HJow do you think chants are started Decotron? Someone composes,your get a few of your singing it in matchday pubs, then at aways, and a good way of advertising it so that people can join in is to post on a forum (although as has been pointed out, no point if it's not a forum for matchgoers).

Pride of All Europe (aka WATPOAE) -
Tune: Just One of Those Songs That You Sing Now and Then

We are just one of those teams that you see now and then
We often score six but we seldom score ten
We'll beat them at homeand we'll beat them away
We'll kill any bastards that get in our way
We are the Pride of All Europe
The Cock of the North
We hate the scousers
The cockneys of course (and Leeds)
We are United, without any doubt
We are the Manchester boys
La la la la la la la la la la la etc....
 
Forever and Ever,
We'll follow the boys,
Of Man United,
The Busby Babes,
For we made a promise,
To defend our faith,
In Man United,
The Busby Babes.

We've all sworn allegiance,
To fight till we die,
To stand by United,
And the Red flag we fly,
There'll be no surrender,
We'll fight to the last,
To defeat all before us,
As we did in the past.

For we're Stretford Enders,
With United we grew,
To the famous Red Devils,
We're loyal and true,
To part-time supporters,
We'll never descend,
We'll never forsake you,
We'll be here to the end.

For we all remember,
That '58 day,
And the plane that once stood on,
That Munich runway,
As it tried to take off,
For the third fatal time,
The immortal young babes were,
Cut down in their prime.

In the cold snow of Munich,
They laid down their lives,
But they live on forever,
In our hearts and our minds,
Their names are now legend,
For the whole world to see.
Why this club's a religion,
Spelt M.U.F.C.

So bow down before them,
And lift up your eyes,
For Old Trafford's glory,
Will always survive.

----------------------------

United's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold.

Then raise United's banner high,
Beneath its shade we'll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.

We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
'Cos Man United will never die.

----------------------------

In '76, oh this is true.
A trophy was won by a team in blue,
It's been a long time
since that day,
so we'll sing them a song that we know they hate:

*Insert number* Years (feck all),
*Insert number* Years (feck all),
*Insert number* Years (feck all),
*Insert number* Years (feck all).
 
Manchester United Calypso
(there is much longer version of this but only this bit ever seems to be sung)

Manchester,
Manchester United,
A bunch of bouncing Busby babes,
They deserve to be knighted.

If ever they're playing in your town,
You must get to that football ground,
Take a look and you will see,
Football taught by Matt Busby.


Was looking for a video to give people an idea of the tune and came across this (check who posted it)
 
to the tune of "3 lions" (Footballs coming home bit)

He's Cracking Up, He's Cracking Up, He's Cracking, Rafa's Cracking Up
 
Everyone knows the 'Gary Neville is a Red' one, but not many people know the whole song and there are several more verses to it which I think are funnier.

Gary Neville is a red, is a red, is a red,
Gary Neville is a red,
He hates Scousers!

Philip Neville is a red, is a red, is a red,
Philip Neville is a red,
He hates England!

Tracey Neville's off her head, off her head, off her head,
Tracey Neville's off her head,
She plays Netball!

Neville Neville is their dad, is their dad, is their dad,
Neville Neville is their dad,
He sells tickets!
 
Isn't it...

"I saw my mate, the other day,
He said to me he'd seen the white pele,
So I asked,
Who is he?
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney (Wazzaaa)
Wayne Rooney (Wazzaaa)
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney"

I think it's best not to have shit made up chants here; Let's stick to actual chants only, some of the made up ones are making me cringe too much.


Also, does anyone else think there's too many songs about other clubs and other players being sung by our fans at the moment?

There's too many songs about City and John Terry etc for my liking.. It's making us look like City fans or something, most of it's fecking classless imo.

Your point is highlighted by the most creative chant...:

"We hate Liverpool, Man City (& Leeds!)..." and Repeat

I don't mind the odd chant at all. I just think at the moment we go OTT with it.

For instance, last night the atmosphere was fecking dreadful, but the few chants that broke through the silence were:

Rafa's cracking up
Fat Spanish waiter
City going down with a billion in the bank
Viva John Terry

They're not exactly encouraging OUR team and our players are they?
 
Forever and ever
We'll follow the boys
Of man united
The busby babes
 
50 years ago,
A team lay in the snow,
Battered and bloodied and some of them died,
Some of them survived.

Charlton and Matt Busby,
They took us to Wembley,
We beat Benfica and we won the Cup,
All those years ago.
 
:lol: at how badly wrong this thread is going. The highlight so far is atossup between Heap calling Feargal a plank for posting the wrong words to the White Pele and and that terrible effort by George the Giraffe!

I give this sticky 2 days, tops.

And while I'm here -

Blue Moon,
Your started singing too soon,
You thought you had won 3-1
Now Howard Kendall has gone

Who's up Chapman's Wife?
Who's up Chapman's Wife?

Bertie Mee said to Matt Busby,
"Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?"
"No" said Matt,
"You cockney twat...have you heard of the Stret-ford...Enders"
 
Lets get some credibility back into this thread:

From the banks of the River Irwell to the shores of Sicilly
We will fight fight fight for united till we win the football league
To hell with Liverpool
To hell with Man City (they're shit)
We will fight fight fight for united till we win the football league

-------------------------------

Oh me lads
You should have seen us coming
Fastest team in the League
Just to see us running
All the lads and lasses
With smiles upon their faces
Walking down the Warwick Road ....................
To see Matt Busby's aces!

Note: I think my evra effort is class!
 
What a friend we have in Jesus
he's our saviour from a far
What a friend we have in Jesus
and his name is Cantona
Ooo Ah Cantona
Ooo Ah Cantona
Ooo Ah Ooo Ah Ooo Ah Cantona
Ooo Ah Cantona

---------------------------------------------------

We drink a drink a drink
To Eric the king the king the king
He's the leader of our football team
He's the greatest centre forward
That the world has ever seen
 
We're just one of those teams,
That you see now and then,
We often score six,
But we seldom score ten,
We'll beat 'em at home,
And we'll beat 'em away,
We kill any b*stards,
That get in our way.
We are the pride of all Europe,
The cock of the North,
We hate the Scousers,
The Cockneys of course, (AND LEEDS!)
We are United,
Without any doubt,
We are the Manchester boys.
Na na na na na na na na,
Na na na na na - OOOGH !


-----------------------------------

If I die in the Kippax Street, wo-oh, wo-oh,
If I die in the Kippax Street, wo-oh, wo-oh,
If I die in the Kippax Street,
There'll be ten blue bastards at my feet,
Wo-oh, oh, wo-oh, wo-oh.
Use your head and use your feet, wo-oh, wo-oh,
Use your head and use your feet, wo-oh, wo-oh,
Use your head and use your feet,
Ten blue bastards at your feet,
Wo-oh, oh wo-oh, wo-oh.
If my bones do not mend, wo-oh, wo-oh,
If my bones do not mend, wo-oh, wo-oh,
If my bones do not mend,
Take me back to the Stretford End,
Wo-oh, oh wo-oh, wo-oh.
 
We hate Nottingham Forest,
We hate Liverpool too (and Leicester)
We hate Manchester City,
But United we love you!

Altogether now...

Repeat.
 
My old man said be a city fan
and I said bollocks you're a cnut
I'd rather shag a bucket with a big hole in it
Than be a city fan for just one minute
with hatchets and hammers, stanley knives and spanners
We'll show them city bastards how to fight (how to fight)
Oh I'd rather shag a buckets with a big hole in it
Than be a city fan
Altogther now .................

------------------------------------------

I see the Stretford End Arising
I see there's trouble on the way
So don't go out tonight
Unless you're red and white
I see there's trouble on the way

"No" Said Matt,

"But I've heard of the Stretford Enders!"


And to try and make this a little more serious I've edited my last post. Although I still maintain its a cracking song!
 
Seeing as people are complaining at a alck of United Songs:

Song: Michael Carrick is a Red. Tune: Seasons in the Sun.

He can pass tackle head,
Michael Carrick is a Red,
Gerrard, Lampard, Fabregas,
You're not fit to wipe his ass.

Song: Park Park. Tune: Lord of the Dance.

Park, Park,
Wherever you may be,
You eat dogs in your home country,
But it could be worse,
You could be a Scouse,
Eating Rats in your Council house.

Song: Park Ji Sung. tune ?

He'll Shoot,

He'll eat your labrador,
He's Park Ji Sung,
He's Park Ji Sung.
(never sung I know but I prefer it to the other one!)

Song: Our Superstar Tevez Tune: ?

Who's that man from Argentina?
Who's that man they(we) all adore?
Plays with Rooney, plays with Wes,
He's our superstar Tevez,
And forver at United he will score.

Song: Ryan giggs running down the wing Tune: Robin hood

Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs,
Running down the wing,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs,
Running down the wing.
Feared by the Blues,
Loved by the Reds,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs.

Song: When Johhny goes marching down the Wing Tune: The animals went in two by two.

When Johhny goes marching down the Wing,
O'shea, O'shea,
When Johhny goes marching down the Wing,
O'shea, O'shea,
When Johhny goes marching down the Wing,
The stretford End will fecking sing,
'Cause we all know that Johnny is gonna score.

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na,
Na-na, na-na,
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na,
Na-na, na-na,
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na,
Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na,
We all know that Johhny is gonna score

Song: You are my Solskjaer Tune: you are my Sunshine

You are my Solskjaer,
My Ole Solskjaer,
You make me happy,
When skies are grey,
Oh Alan Shearer,
Was fecking dearer,
So please don't take my Solskjaer away.

Keep The Red Flag Flying High

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

United's flag is deepest red,
It shrouded all our Munich dead,
Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,
Their heart's blood dyed it's ev'ry fold.

Then raise United's banner high,
Beneath it's shade we'll live and die,
So keep the faith and never fear,
We'll keep the Red Flag flying here.

We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll never die, we'll never die,
We'll keep the Red flag flying high,
Because Man United will never die.

:D

Is correct, but there are 2 more verses to that song:

Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs running down the wing,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, crosses like the King,
Beats one and two, beats three and four,
He will score, he will score, he will score.

Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs greatest-ever goal,
Extra-time, Villa Park, ran right past them all,
Beat half the team, straight in the net,
Won't forget, won't forget, no we won't forget.

:D

And the wigan fans were worse than us, they just did this shit song with no words :confused:

Not forgetting the oh so original 'we support our local team'.:lol:

That was pathetic aswell, as was our comeback of the 'you support a load of shit' chant we sing pretty much every game :lol:

'Come in a taxi,
you musta come in a taxi'

Was sang when it was loudest (1 minute in)

And then 'Heskey for england' towards the end

They count towards the thread :D
 
We drink a drink a drink to Eric the king the king the king,
Hes the leader of our football team,
Hes the greatest center forward
That the wooooorrrrrllllldd has ever seen!

He played for Marsaille but never for Arsenal
Or Liverpool or even Man city,
He had a brief spell, with the Leeds scum,
Until he realised that they were has-beens,
Only one way now, for Eric to go now,
TO THE THEEEAAAATEEER OF OUR DRRREEEEAAAMS

I've heard Pete Boyle singing it at the Blaize. Not the best verse, I agree. I'm not even sure the lyrics I posted are correct.
 
there should be a rule where you only post on this thread with a valid song. some silly posts on here. can mods delete all the crap?

hmm, let me think of ones that aint been on here already -

to the tune of "oh flower of scotland"

oh alex ferguson, oh will we see, the likes again,
he came to old trafford, from aberdeen,
he won the trophies (how many trophies)
and sent the scousers, home to cry.

by the way, the first 2 verses of the eric song are -

eric the king is, remarkably trendy, he has done some modelling around townnnnn, wearing his best suits, up on the catwalk, while the leeds scum they just frownnn.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

oh on the field, its almost unreal, some of the things that eric does, remarkable back flicks, superb overhead kicks, im sure the guy just takes the piss.
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I think there are quite a few who have just copy and pasted full versions of songs, when in reality only 1 or 2 verses of that song are ever heard at Old Trafford.

This thread was a good idea but unfortunately ruined by people who havent got a clue
 
My favourite stem from the days when all we had to look forward to was a cup run

She wore, she wore, she wore a scarlet ribbon,
She wore a scarlet ribbon in the merry month of May,
And when I asked her why she wore that ribbon,
She said it's for united and we're going to wembley
Wembley, wembley, we're the famous man United and we're going to Wembley


As a TV fan these days you honestly can't pick any of the lyrics from the fans and the tunes are fecking woeful.
