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?

I remember a few not mentioned so far:-
- One that started "The famous Norwich City went to Rome to see the Pope"....
and
- One that started at Leeds away many seasons ago "Hey you over there whats it like to have no hair"... I believe it was aimed at the bald steward giving us all hassle but carried on to other games.
This post made me laugh and reminisce at the same time haha |  |

'Hey you, over there, yes you, with no hair. Is it hot or is it cold, what's it like to, be bald'
Funny the things you remember. Don't remember it from Leeds though. I recall it being directed towards Clive Walker at Brighton, last game of 90-91 season. |  |

Curiously that old chestnut 'Ooooooooooh, dodgy keepah' seemed to resurface at Bracknell tonight.
And as we were cruising in the final ten minutes I remembered how we used to sing in similar situations in the sixties and seventies, to the tune of 'Auld Lang Syne', 'We've won, ya bums, we've won, ya bums, we've won, ya bums, we've won' until the final whistle. |  |

I always remember the sound of Dr Martin boots kicking the corrugated metal back wall of the North Stand. It made a fantastic sound, so exiciting as a youngster queuing to get in. A lot of the clapping in unison was started by bashing the back wall. There was also often a mega loud klaxon fog horn that used to get everyone going. | | | |

Not from the 70s or 80s but one of my favourite songs was when we relegated Man City in 2001
“Blue moon
You got promoted too soon
And now you’re going back down
And Europes coming to Town”
Things have changed a bit since then! |  | | |

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. |
Regarding the North Stand whistle. That was me lol. The whistle got sent to Coventry - almost literally. I was at their old Highfield Road ground - a 2-2 draw in December 1992. We were 2-1 down and then Steve Whitton equalised from the penalty spot. We celebrated wildly on the terrace and the contents of my pocket emptied including my wallet with my train ticket home in it, and the whistle. Luckily the guy in front of me found my wallet (although it took some persuading for him to believe it was mine as when he said who's lost a wallet, about 10 blokes all answered 'me' at once), but we just couldn't find the whistle and it was never seen again. It must have been strange for Town fans to hear it when we scored our first that afternoon, but not for the second. |  | | |

Brilliant! It survived a bit longer than I thought it did then, and I was actually at Highfield Road that afternoon. Didn't see the whistle though unfortunately. When did the whistle have it's first outing? First time I think I remember hearing it was at the Hospital Cup match at Carra Road Aug 89. | |

My first ever trip to Carrow Rd was that game in 89. So yes, the whistle probably made its debut that game.
For home games, it would be blown for the first time just before kick off, just after the Haverhill lot would do their toilet, chips, Chinese and indian chant
5 blows of the whistle, followed by 4 claps and everyone shouting 'Ipswich' always got everyone involved.
On another note for that era, does anyone remember a character called McKenzie? Never knew his first name, I think he was from Manningtree and he had his own song as a fair number would sing McKenzie is a w**ker to him. A bit of a nutcase. | | | |

“From the banks of the river ooorwell
To the shores of Sicily
We will fight, fight, fight for Iiiipswich
‘Till we win the Football League.
To hell with Liverpool
To hell with Man City
We will fight, fight, fight
for Iiiipswich,
‘Till we win the Football League”
“His eyes they shine like diamonds,
They call him the King of the Land.
Snd there stood Keeevin Beattie,
Born with the Cup in his hands!”
“She’s a sh1tbag, ratbag,
F****ckin ole horebag,
That’s my mother-in-law.
She wants shooting,
F***ing executing,
Hanging on the sh1 thouse door”
Just three I can remember being being belted out by the then North Stand . |  |

Yep. I remember Mckenzie. Funnily enough, last time I saw him was also at Coventry, for a night game in 94 pre-match in the Mercers Arms pub opposite ground. | |

Superb. I've asked a few people about him but nobody can remember him.
Last time I saw him was many years ago on the pier at Walton on the Naze. He was on the ghost train. If you ever saw that, you'd know that in the middle, the car would come down a slope then go up a slope.
I heard a bloke screaming as a car did that manoeuvre. When I looked to see what was going on, it was McKenzie hanging out the car screaming and shouting. Suffice to say, he was well and truly high on something or other. | | | |

I remember that too, sung to the tune of 'I'm forever blowing bubbles'.

My recollection is that it had the words "in your boots and braces". I don't remember if it had any other words. [Post edited 11 Nov 2022 19:50]
