Please could people take a moment to learn the rest of the song so it doesn't hit a brick wall just as it gets going?
Chorus (EEJB)
(verse)
2, 4, 6, 8, who do I appreciate,
It isn't hard to tell,
Just you take closer look at me
And you'll damn well,
Ipswich, Ipswich
COME ON THE TOWN
(Chorus - EEJB again.)
Football, Football,
Who's the greatest of them all,
Put it to the test,
Come to Portman Road on a Saturday,
And you'll see the best,
Ipswich, Ipswich,
COME ON THE TOWN.
Chorus - EEJB
Now print it out and take it with you to all matches until you've bloody learnt it.

You’re asking a lot of our fans, barely just get through one round of the chorus sometimes. |  |

surely I am not the only one who grew up learning these lyrics (and of course the B side calypso)...oh and you are missing a word)

Jesus.
Getting the words wrong again and again and again until you get them right is half the joy of being a football fan.
We're watching a match not singing in a carol service. [Post edited 16 Dec 2022 9:52]

Very true, and I'm sure there's plenty of songs where we all sign slightly different versions.
But no-one ever knows the rest of EEJB and it hits a brick wall just as it gets going. | |

Don't need to learn them.
Permenantly engraved into my little grey cells since i was a teenager. |  |

Indeed
Am still waiting to meet Keffrey, where ever he may be, and wondering why we used to sing a song about him. |  |

It normally takes 3 years for new fans to get ‘Give us an I…’ right. |  |

I've only just twigged recently, but it's taken me fifty years to realise it's Ted and not Fred. |  | | |

Until recently I thought the line from the ‘witty’ chant sung at smaller grounds about ‘my garden shed’ went “it’s got porn and a window”. Apparently it’s a door.. |  | | |

And lot's near me in the lower North don't realise the line actually says:
"I'm Edward Ebeneezer, Jeremiah Brown, but everybody CALL me Ted"
i.e. not "CALLS"
Pedantry of the highest order maybe, but the correct singing of our home song would be good!  |  | | |

That has obviously passed me by too. | | | |
