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. [Post edited 23 Apr 13:51]

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,
La La La La La La
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. [Post edited 23 Apr 15:59]

Apologies for being pedantic, but the words are
"call me Ted"
Edward Ebeneezer Jeremiah Brown is asking peope to CALL him Ted...not Edward.

Maybe it's a rights issue but I thought that Ed Sheeran might have done an updated cover version of this by now. Not saying that's a good/bad idea but thought they would have jumped on it. | |

I think it should begin with the la la la bit, nice and slowly, to allow everyone to join in, before the beginning of the first verse. That way, everyone is cued up amd ready to bang it out, as one. | | | |

I think it's sung from two different perspectives within the songs verses, both 'calls me' and 'call me'... sorry for out pedandicating you ! | | | |

There was a period during the Mick years where the club played it before games over the tannoy.
It's been given the Ashton treatment with the big screen lyrics. |  | | |

Being fair, the Ashton treatment is better than the Evans treatment.
