This came in the Fishy's post bag.

Hi Rob, A non-footy fan at work has come up with a cracking terrace chant. After hearing a few of us chatting about Ahkeem scoring his first senior goal and originating from Jamaica he came up with ‘grimsby town the place i want to be’ to the tune of kingston town by ub40. Absolute genius! Interested to know what fans think. How it's never been adopted by us before now i do not know! Would be great to hear it sang by a full away end at Chesterfield. Can you help?

Podge has long gone,
But the magic lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
New star shining bright,
Cutting in from the right
There is magic at Grimsby Town

Oh Grimsby Town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the boys at play

Ahkeem is a wonderful prospect and I wish the lad all the very best, but I feel a few days after he has scored his first ever league goal, is a little early to dedicate a song to him.
Especially by UB40, all the way from the Montego Bay area of Birmingham.  :)

I heard Seasons In The Sun by Terry Jacks on the radio earlier, couldn't help singing the old Town version.

"We had joy we had fun
We had Scunny on the run
But the joy didn't last
Cos the illegitimates ran too fast"

;D

Hatchets and hammers , carving knives and spanners....

Jolley had a dream
To build a football team
We had no money so we signed the players on loan
He built from the back
Ahkeem in attack
We’re mighty mariners
We’re on our way back

Tears for Fears

Shout

Fenty Out
This is the thing that we sing about
Fook Off
We’ talking to you
Fook Off

One of the best I ever heard was sung to a young Warren ('Pudding Basin') Barton away at Maidstone Dartford's old ground):

Does your mother cut your hair?
Does your mother cut your hair?

[To the tune of Bread of Heaven]

Tried the UB40 one years ago and it never took off.

One we was singing over in Russia , , could we give this a bash tomorrow , , , ?!?

Looking back at when we first met
I can not escape and I can not forget

Town are on the road again

Anybody old enough to remember the old:

What's the referee?
What's the referee?
Ee ay adio, What's the referee?

Pause and an intake of breath......... illegitimate!!!

Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly......

We’ve conquered all of non league
Were never gonna stop
From Barrow down to Braintree
We’ve beat the effing lot
From Buckley onto Jolley
The walk down Grimsby Road
Cos we are all supporters
And we Come from Grimsby Town
Allez allez Allez .............  :

Akheem is the type of player to get bums out your seats just needs restraining Jolley has got it right wait until the opposition defence looks tired.

Then unleash the speed demon that is  F1 Akheem TO SCORCH EM.

Think the original was

"Oh,oh,oh, what a referee, what a referee, what a referee, oh,oh,oh, what a referee SH1THOUSE!

What tune is that to?

The culture of terrace songs develops over many years. The first songs I ever heard at Blundell Park in the early to mid sixties were "Daisy" and "2,4,6,8 who do we appreciate" but as mentioned in the post above the SH1THOUSE one was sung with so much venom that it really made a snotty nosed wee boy laugh uncontrollably every time it got an airing - which was plentiful at BP during the day.

Some of the stuff heard today like "FISH!" is pure theatre, and I doubt anybody who was at Wembley to see Town get back into the Football League will ever forget it's rendition there on the day?

Have heard many great songs at BP over the years, but to hear the "Mariners" chant start in the old Barratt Stand occasionally, and then filter along the Pontoon, Main Stand and Constitutional end really used to make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

Oh when the town, has that effect on me - specifically the slower version.

I use to love hearing I can't help Falling in love with town when the whole of the pontoon joined in sounded brilliant.

The "Vera Lynn" era chants when I started watching Town...

Who's that tw*t in the big black hat
Scuffer is his name

I'm a knock kneed chicken and a bow legged hen

And one to the tune of the Hoover advert "Hoover beats as it sweeps as it cleans" the words to which I just cannot remember...

I cringe in greasy chip butty when I hear people sing 'good bit of stuff' instead of 'good pinch of snuff'. I mean, what the intercourse is that exactly?

I always used to like Walking Down the Grimsby Road but you don't hear it anymore. And 'Mariners' is chanted too quickly. Amazes me on the old 80s vids just how drawn out 'Maaaaariiiiiiineeeers' was. Sounds better like that.

Town fans here
Town fans there
Town fans every fking where
Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah
Nah nah

Others for the oldies

I hear the sound (of distant bums)

Who’s your father ( referee)

Eyes right foreskins tight (Pontoon Fusiliers )

If youre standing on a corner (all alone and feeling low)

Old McDonald had a farm (pigs)

You’re gonna walk like Sandy Richardson

Six foot two (eyes of blue)

Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah Grimsby (Hey Jude)

All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
Grimsby Town rule Lincolnshire
And Scunthorpe rule feck all

You can run, you can hide but you'll still go in the tide!

I seem to remember,
Tip toe through the Pontoon with my boots on and my sawn off shotgun, tiptoe through the Pontoon with me. ??)
