Since the sixties, football chants and songs have come and gone and even come back.
Watching those despicable Chelsea Morons insulting the poor of Merseyside, I could not help remembering and wanting a rendition of:
Show them the way to go home,
They’re tired and they want to go to bed,
Cause they’re only half a football team,
Compared to the boys in Blue!!!!!…
The original 1920’s music hall lyrics were,
Show me the way to go home,
I’m tired and I want to go to bed,
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it’s gone right to my head,
Wherever I may roam,
On land or sea or foam,
You will always hear me singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.
One of my most spine-tingling moments was at Wembley in 1986 at half-time, when the older supporters started to sing, ‘We hate Bill Shankly and we hate St John!‘
Personally, I am as poetic as a boiled egg, but would love a Blue Lyricist to come up with contemporary lyrics for the first two lines!!
Perhaps TW and other websites could offer an incentive!
