Always remember this song used to fade into a mumble at the end, iirc the next lines where…
 

“bring on the Spaniards by the score

barcelona Real Madrid (best skip this bit) for half a quid”

 

Then It just went incoherent after that, think people had their own words.

Without going through the whole post, not sure if 2 chant's I remember from the 70's have been mentioned? But I have fond memories of shouting out " When she wheeled her wheelbarrow through the streets wide and narrow singing Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Jam Tarts" to the tune of Sweet Molly Malone and when an opposition player went down feigning an injury he would be met with a chorus of " Dig a hole and bury him", - happy days watching Cruikshank's, Ford, Anderson, Busby, Prentice, Brown, Townsend etc in their prime, no trophies thought 😡

We got Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Lightbulb in the shed in the shed. 

We got Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Lightbulb in the shed in the shed. 

Jimmy oh Jimmy lLghtbulb oh Jimmy Lightbulb in the shed. 

Jimmy oh Jimmy lLghtbulb oh Jimmy Lightbulb in the shed. (Repeat)

Then...

Jimmy Jimmy give us a wave.. Jimmy give us a wave. (He always did)

 

(Circa 1984 - Jimmy was a Hearts fan who stood up the back middle of the shed probably in his 30s back then. Jimmy sang every third word of any Hearts song. So hence on /off like a Lightbulb, bit like Norman Collier old faulty microphone routine.) 

Be amazed if anyone remembers this apart from my mates back home.

Yep, certainly happened then they signed Mo.......You're not proddies anymore, had them raging.

 

In the mid/late 90's, the Marco Negri era, you would hear: 'More Tims Than Celtic'

 

...which could be viewed as net-positive by the HR Diversity and Inclusion department.

Lyrics. 

 

How did this song begin? Was is something about a 'wee boy called Fergie' - referring to Ian Ferguson who got the goal against Bayern Munich or am I way off the beat?

His name is Drew Busby, the talk of the north

 

He plays at Tynecastle just over the Forth

 

He drinks all your whisky...

Talking of Rangers fans, does anyone remember them singing to us ‘part time proddies, you’re just part time proddies, part time proddies....’? It didn’t happen often but not many folk of my vintage seem to recall it. I didn’t imagine it either btw.

 

IIRC we played them at Tynie not long after Mo Johnston had signed for them and before the game the Hun fans in the Gorgie Road end were singing "One team of proddies" to us. Quick as a flash the Hearts virtually to a man sang back "you dirty Feni@n Barstewards!" to them. They didn't take too kindly to the joke, we thought it was hilarious. Probably the only time I ever joined in that particular chant.

They hated "You're not Proddies any more" as well.

They did. They also hated the "you've got more Tims than Celtic" chant too.

With a little bit of thought that should have been-

I will stand corrected if wrong , but I think it goes,

‘his name is Drew Busby, 

the cock of the north,

he bides in Dunfermline just over the Forth,

he drinks all your whisky and Newcastle brown,

the Gorgie boys are in town,

na….na.na.

Cock, or cook? His biography suggests cook.

Well I’m just chuffed someone minds him and the song. He didn’t like it at first then he did the conductor bit to the fans after a few months.

Jump Up Header it Donald Ford

Jump Up Header it Donald Ford

Jump Up Header it Donald Ford

Jump Up Header it Donald Ford

Jump up Header it (Pause) Donald Ford

 

Started slowly and built up to a crescendo.  A regular ditty on the SCAB bus with all the folk, well all the young un's at the time anyway, jumping up out of their seats and header'ing a pretend ball during the last couple of verses while the bus lamped along the road at full pelt.

 

Those were the days.

I remember various versions of:

 

And number 1 is Henry Smith 

number 2 is Robertson

(repeat for numbers 3-6)

number 7 is John Colquhoun

number 8 is Robertson

number 9 is Robertson

Number 10 is Robertson

and number 11 is Sandy Clarke

 

after a derby Robbo was number 1-11

 

There was also (I think there was more to it) but the bit I remember was:

 

Oh John Colquhoun goes down the wing,

and when he swings it in the middle 

Big Sandy Clarke just nods it home

🎶jump up HEAD IT IN Donald Ford🎶

Also remember;

🎶

Donald Ford, Donald Ford,

Give us a goal,

Give us a goal,

Donald Ford, Donald Ford,

Give us a goal,

Give us a goal,

A goal,

A goal,

A goal a goal a goal a goal 

(then morphing into)

Aggro,

Aggro,

Aggro aggro aggro aggro

🎶

(regularly followed by the inevitable crowd surge)

It was mayhem at the time so sure that both set of lyrics worked :pleased:

 

Memory is bad these days but I seem to remember that once when this was getting sung on the bus that, it might have been Youngy, he started going radge because he had dropped his fag with all the jumping that was going on and he was trying to find it on the floor under his seat, gave up and next minute swearing like a trooper because it had actually landed on a fold in his clothes and smoke was appearing!!  Flaming hilarious if I recall but only one of the hundreds of mad moments from back in the day on the SCAB bus.

Drew Busby was definitely the ‘cock of the North’ although a lot of folk sung ‘talk of the North’.

I remember the civil rights song We shall overcome being sung if we fell behind and also show them the way to go home if we were winning. Derbies where they chanted Hibbees and we retorted with shite. Also sang for a period You'll never walk alone and it's a grand old team to play for and of course Oh when the Hearts go marching in.

I've sung some really stupid stuff at games. Mid 80's and the bigoted orange stuff. Certainly not proud of it, maybe why I find all that shit so abhorrent now. I guess I've grown up, matured (somewhat) but ultimately realising how irrelevant it is to a football match (and life in general), or more importantly, the team I support.

 

Anyway, more light-heartedly, "Gorgie Wave, Gorgie Wave, Gorgie Wave!"

Don't get too hung up about it, my best mate used to sing The Sash and Derrys Walls despite being a pupil of St Catherine and Holyrood. 

We've all been there, how many Kickbackers would admit to racially abusing Leeds Utd's Terry Conroy and Mark Walters back in the day ? 

Attitudes have changed for the better but ot still happened.  👍

I pulled my boy up when he came out with some Kyle Lafferty ditty about being "Seven foot, he plays the flute".

My boy had no idea what it meant, but snowflake dad had to explain shit 

The prawn sandwich archetypes! 🤣

" Kyle Lafferty,

Kyle Lafferty,

He's 7 foot and he plays the flute

Kyle Lafferty "

 

If that was my son I'd not be pulling him up as there is nothing wrong with that Kyle Lafferty song, maybe he's not 7 foot ?
