H4H 0 Posted July 27, 2011 Forget trying to make up new songs for this, that and the other. Why don’t we just learn the first verse of our club anthem? The full rendition is awesome, and would sound great sung in the stands. I no on the cd its sung by old boys in the 50s but I believe that it could be easily learnt and really powerful. In a similar way to stoke singing Delilah or Liverpool with ‘you’ll never walk alone’. If you haevnt heard the full rendition (or didn’t realise there was more than one verse) then you tube it.In 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 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
