Singing at the footy... opinions please

[sbagman]

OK, someone asked me for some songs to sing at Brissie games... I'd like some opinions on them please...

DISCLAIMER: These songs are mainly ripped off from the Brisbane Strikers' BANANA ARMY. All credit for these songs must go to them for these, apart from some slight adaptations.

Sbagman.

[sbagman]

To the tune of "You are my sunshine"

You are my Lions
My Brisbane Lions
You make me happy
When skies are grey
One half from Brisbane
One half from Fitzroy
Please don't take our Lions away
Nah nah nah nah nah.... OOH!
Nah nah nah nah nah.... OOH!

etc etc etc....

[sbagman]

Don't know the tune of this one but it's pretty easy...

HELLO! HELLO! We are the Lions boys
HELLO! HELLO! We are the Lions boys
We're Brisbane's famous football fans
We come from near and far
If you can't hear us singing
You'll find us at the bar
HELLO! HELLO! We are the Lions boys
HELLO! HELLO! We are the Lions boys

[sbagman]

To the tune of "Oh When the Saints"

Alastair Lynch
Is wonderful
Alastair Lynch is wonderful
He's not so bad for an old Tasmanian
Alastair Lynch is wonderful
ALASTAIR LYNCH! (Alastair Lynch)
IS WONDERFUL! (Is wonderful)
Alastair Lynch is wonderful
He's not so bad for an old Tasmanian
Alastair Lynch is wonderful

[sbagman]

When the opposition are losing and their fans have become a bit quiet..... for example, Hawthorn....

Can we hear Hawthorn sing, oh-oh! oh-oh!
Can we hear Hathown sing, oh-oh! oh-oh!
Can we hear Hawthorn sing
We can't hear a bloody thing
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!

[sbagman]

To the tune of the old Bears song, apparently....

The mighty Brisbane Lions went to Rome to see the pope
The mighty Brisbane Lions went to Rome to see the pope
The mighty Brisbane Lions went to Rome to see the pope
And this is what he said
Glory glory Brisbane Lions
Glory glory Brisbane Lions
Glory glory Brisbane Lions
And the lads go marching on! on! on!

[sbagman]

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Stood up and he said
BRISBANE! *clap clap clap*
BRISBANE! *clap clap clap* etc etc etc

[sbagman]

(When we're up?)

And it's Brisbane Lions
Brisbane Lions FC
We're by FAR the greatest team
The world has ever seen
(Repeat)

[sbagman]

(when the opposition is struggling for goals... for example, if Sydney had only scored two....)

To the tune of "It's a long way to Tipparary"

It's a long way
Back to Sydney
It's a long way to go
It's a long way back to Sydney
When you've only scored two goals

[sbagman]

Another anti-Sydney one.... to the tune of "daydream believer"

Cheer up Sy-d-ney
Oh what can it be
You're a pack of useless bastards
With a crap footy teeeeee-e-e-eam!

(that was cleaned up)

[sbagman]

When we're home and hosed....

To the tune of some nursery rhyme I can't remember

We're gonna win the flag
We're gonna win the flag
And now you're gonna believe us
We're gonna win the flag

[sbagman]

When the opposition miss an easy shot.... to the tune of "Go West"

How big do you want the goals?
How big do you want the goals?

etc etc etc

[sbagman]

And its Brisbane Lions
Brisbane Lions
We'll SUPPORT you ever more
(repeat)

[sbagman]

One liners... (repeat all)

Boring, boring (name the team)
Its just beacuse you're losing
What the bloody hell was that

etc etc etc....

I know the tune to this one.......

It's called Follow Follow and is a battle song of Protestant Northern Irish Loyalists that is used by Glasgow Rangers FC in Scotland. Most English clubs adopted it to their own use as well. (Dad's from Belfast so I know this!!)

I won't print the original lyrics, a little bit sectarian for unprepared eyes :D

[DrPepper]

LOL thats too funny.
great songs!

[Big Marsh]

sbagman, so glad to see that you are a other one of us who'd love to sing like a St George flag-bearing skinhead. The only problem is you can't do it unless everyone knows the song, and if you stand up to try to start it, and no one gives an arse, you look a complete muppet.....

Still, I'd love to see it. Some of those songs are bloody brilliant. I think think the Lynch Mob are into it a bit, I reckon we should be too.

Thanks Big Marsh, but I'm not sure I like the comparison with a St George flag-bearing skinhead. Its kinda sad that singing at the footy has those connotations, but there you go.

Well, as to looking like a muppet, I did so last night, but hopefully more people will join in... my girlfriend came along and sung with me... what a gal! Danni got into it too.... we just need a critical mass of say 10 voices in the same spot....

Wait till I introduce the Italiian chants!!!!!

Sbagman.

Not enough singing at Australian sporting events full stop. In the SANFL Central Districts with their mainly pommy supporter base from Elizabeth city have been singing for 25 years. It creates a great atmosphere - especially in the GF when they won their first flag last year.

Be great if the Brisbane Lions fans could get a move on. Get some of those old Strikers supporters along if need be to get it going.

[sbagman]

Got a new one...

"Are you Freo, are you Freo, are you Freo in disguise?"

[Big Marsh]

Which ones are we talking? Milan, Internazionale, AS Roma etc?

What you're saying is completely true, it doesn't take a heap of guys to make a song work. 10-15 people in the same spot singing in the same tune (always sounds better) will work really well. If the cheer squads learn the songs well, it would seriously kick ass.

"OLE OLE OLE OLE! HELLAS! HELLAS!"

"SOUTH MEEEEELBOURNE, SOUTH MEEEEELBOURNE! OLE OLE OLE!"

;) Sorry guys, had to.

'Are you Fitzroy in disguise?'

It worked a treat Prelim Final night in 99:p :p :p
