Whilst I like the creativity of new songs, I don't go t enough game to learn the words. I had mastered the Anglian / Anarchy song and it disappeared!
Lost from the repertoire...
YNWA - Yes we used to sing it, and not just the chorus
Singing the Blues
You are my Ipswich (sunshine)
Ipswich repeated to tune of Amazing Grave
Que sera sera
We're on the march with Bobby's army (Scotland WC song 78)
We are the Ipswich the greatest Ipswich (Nut Rocket - B Bumble and the Stingers)
Thru to
Here we go (another Scotland WC song? 86?)
You'll never make station
You're gonna get your feckin heads kicked in
Ipswich aggro
London clubs never seen to sing "Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner" any more
In your (insert name of opposition) slums
Too young for "Keep right into end of the road"
Any I've missed, good or bad?

“You’re going home in an Ipswich ambulance”
“Rather shag a sheep than a Watford prostitute” (this may have been sung at other clubs too but Watford is the one I recall in response to sheep shagger songs) |  |

Hit him on the head, hit him on the head, hit him on the head with a baseball bat.

As a kid I used to love the tension in the air when the big clubs came down filling two sections of the north stand....therefore "we'll see you all outside we'll see you all outside we'll see you all, we'll see you all outside..." really added to it, that bit of fear is bloody wonderful when you're 10..
Thankfully my Dad didn't used to feel the same, ushered away on 89 minutes! |  | | |

….”you’ll never make the station”.
Of course they usually did, quite easily.
Classic. |  |

I’m no expert but the modern era doesn’t seem to have the wide repertoire of the 70’s & 80’s - maybe if there was a push to have a retro slot during the match…

I remember the second of these as being for the 'dolly birds' who were doing something or other on the pitch at half-time. (Were they selling something? I remember them having trays like the people who sold ice-creams at the interval (!) in cinemas.) |  | | |

Who's the w@nker in the black
Who's your father referee |
During the 1966 World Cup Final, after a couple of questionable decisions against England by Herr Dienst, the crowd launched into a chorus of "Oh Oh Oh Oh What a referee". No four letter words involved or questions about his parentage. I didn't realise it as actually a proper song, written by Don Pelosi / Jimmy Harper / Jack Meadows).
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What a referee
What a referee! What a referee!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! He went and lost his pea
And his little wooden whistle wouldn't whistle
There was a referee, a famous man was he
And here's the story how he won his fame
One day there was a scene upon the village green
When he turned out to ref a local game
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What a referee!
What a referee! What a referee!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! He went and lost his pea
And his little wooden whistle wouldn't whistle
When half-time went he found the pea upon the ground
Broken in two by some big clumsy lout
He thought that half would do, he put it in and blew
But only half the blinkin' team came out
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! What a referee
What a referee! What a referee!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! He went and lost his pea
And his little wooden whistle wouldn't whistle |  |

The "He's fookin everywhere" song has three beats on the name, so Conor Chaplin doesn't work, and neither would Harness, but Ladappo, TJJ or Aluko would. Or Sam Morsy, or Wesley Burns. |  | | |

If police entered the stand or walked along the side of the pitch, the old McDonald had a farm refrain would begin, or singing along to the Laurel and Hardy theme tune.
'Here We Go' was an odd one. Never really saw the point of it. Where are we going?
I don't really hear 'We're gonna score in a minute' anymore.
'You are my Ipswich, my only Ipswich, you make me happy, when skies are grey (And Blue and White sung loudly)'
What do you think of Norwich? S***, What do you think of S***? Norwich.
'You're not fit to referee' (of course, sung to the same tune), seems to have replaced 'Who's the w*** in the black' since they stopped wearing the colour as much. As well as 'You don't know what you're doing'.
All lesbians are usually women
Toilet Chips, Chinese and Indian
Simon Milton is a former Bury Player
I think the Haverhill lot were mainly responsible for the above three.
On another note, I remember with fondness, the North Stand whistle, which made it's way to most away games in the late 80s, only to get confiscated somewhere (possibly in the promotion season)? I think there may even have been a story in the old fanzine about it. |  |

Knees up Mother Brown
When the red, red, robin goes bob, bob, bobbing along (shoot the.....)
And my personal favourite, to the tune of Deep Purple's 'Black Night':
Doo, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, doo uh
Ipswich - football
Doo, do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do, doo uh
Norwich - netball |  |

I didn't even exist in the 80s but I do have some sort of memory of the "What do we think of Norwich?" chant. Could just be me |  |

His eyes they shine like diamonds
They call him the king of the land
There stood Kevin Beattie
Looks great with the cup in his hand
From the banks of the River Orwell
To the shores of Sicily
We'll fight, fight, fight for Ipswich
Till we win the Football league
To hell with Liverpool, to hell with Man City
well fight fight fight for Ipswich
Cause we're the best team in the league |  | | |

We used to stand near the Haverhill lot. I seem to remember one that went...
We come from Haverhill,
Sh!tty, smelly Haverhill,
If you're not pissed yet,
Have another lager.
...which I used to think was quite philosophical. Of course, I was too young to drink then, so I couldn't. |  |

Dig a hole and f*ing bury him.

Looking back, the “get yer t*ts out chant” to the merch sellers was shameful. They could quite possibly have been under the age of consent, not that being over 16 would have made it acceptable. | | | |
