Edward Ebeneezer 13:38 - Apr 23 with 1005 viewsnick141

It seems everyone (club included) has got behind this song much more this year - it's not just me is it?

I think it's absolutely brilliant - our only genuinely unique chant, and it's a banger. I went with my cousin who works for Arsenal last night and he told me the specific arsenal chants that correspond to each of ours, except that he thought Edward Ebeneezer was a banger.

Now, we just had to get to the second verse and it could be on a par with the Claudio Braga song! It's really a much more straightforward verse than the first!

Always gets sung far too quickly though. Need to slow it down a bit for maximum impact.

Sing it slowly and it also makes an excellent lullaby for a baby.

I’m be been singing the second verse for some years now at games.

Often on my own, but a few do now join in.

Not singing too fast is hard - but defo improves a number of songs. See also "Ipswich, Ipswich*"and "Oh when the town, go marching in..."

Correct one verse and this, like what England fans do after the anthem. It’s great that song is out there but when it stops and goes silent it’s weird!

Not sure if it's an entire second verse, but these are the words and then it's repeat first verse to fade.

2,4,6,8 who do I appreciate?
Isn't hard to tell
Come to Portman Road on a Saturday
And you'll know darn well
Ipswich, Ipswich, come on the Town
Ipswich, Ipswich, come on the Town

Think you’ve mixed bits of the second and third verse together!

Managed to find the full lyrics…

Me name is Edward Ebeneezer Jerimiah Brown,
I'm a football supporter of Ipswich Town,
Wherever they play you'll find me,
I have'nt missed a game since I was three,
With me scarf and me rattle and me big rossette,
Singing where was the goalie when the ball was in the net,
Follow the Town up or down,
I'm Edward Ebeneezer,
Jerimiah Brown,
But everybody call me Ted

2-4-6-8 who do I appreciate,
Is'nt hard to tell,
Just you take a closer look at me,
And you'll know damn well

WHO ?

Ipswich, Ipswich, Come on the Town

His name is Edward Ebeneezer Jerimiah Brown,
He's a football supporter of Ipswich Town,
Wherever they play there he'll be,
He has'nt missed a game since he was three,
With his scarf and a rattle and a big rossette,
Singing where was the goalie when the ball was in the net,
He's Edward Ebeneezer,
Jerimiah Brown,
But everybody call him Ted

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

WHO ?

Ipswich, Ipswich, Come on the Town,
Ipswich, Ipswich, Come on the Town

La La La,
La La La La La La,
La La La,

La La La,
La La La La La La

It's a great 'club song' and I love that it was heard loud and clear last night during the game.

I just don't like it pre-match, it doesn't exactly scream 'hostile' atmosphere for an away player/fan does it?

Agree second verse is easier and should be added to give it a real anthem feeling .

I think ending on "Calls me Ted" is perfect. It gets a bit odd after that, not quite as rousing

Why did ipswich ipswich to amazing grace ever stop ? Chelsea do it and I have tried but doesn’t catch on. It’s banger again to get going at games.
