On the Ball City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Norfolk Dan 308]

My mates dad told me that OTBC is not sung properly at Carrow Road any longer.. He said that when the whole song was sung it would send shivers down his spine...

So here it is... OTBC as you may not know it......

On the days to call, which we have left behind,
Our boyhood’s glorious game,
And our youthful vigour has declined
With its mirth and its lonesome end;
You will think of the time, the happy time,
Its memories fond recall
When in the bloom of your youthful prime
We’ve kept upon the ball

Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.

Let all tonight then drink with me
To the football game we love,
And wish it may successful be
As other games of old,
And in one grand united toast
Join player, game and song
And fondly pledge your pride and toast
Success to the City club.

Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.

Why do we want the music to the whole thing? You don''t expect us to learn ALL the words do you :-P

I am sure that the whole song is avaiable somewhere on the net... I will find it and post the link.... I think It would just sound amazing... I might have to write the words on the back on my hand!

its on the "on the ball city" cd, which came out 4 years ago, i would have thought that the club shop would still have it, and if i had any idea how i could post a link for it, i would, as i do have it on my computer.
