I remember a song from 71/72 that was sang to the tune 'He's Got The Whole World In His Hands' . It went something like this ' We got Johnnie Roberts in our goal , We got Johnnie Roberts in our goal , We got Johnnie Roberts in our goal , We got the best team in the land . It then went through the whole Southend United team that was playing , has to be one of the best , even better with the whole North Bank singing it .

Great idea!
I would love to know the first bit of "Dennis on fire" and the rest of "We're on our way, we're on our way. To the football league, we're on our way."

We’re on our way, We’re on our way. To the football league, we’re on our way. How we get there i don't know, how we get there i don't care, all i know is Southend's on the way. repeat.

It's a bit of a long running joke...

It is actually, "Ole Ole, Ole Ole, Follow Southend away, Follow Southend away, Follow Southend awaaaaaaaay" and repeat.

Someone I took to the Notts Co match didn’t manage to figure the words to that one out at all. When I explained he was like “ah that makes sense”. Not a SUFC fan, in his defence.

Still without a song for Lopata, feel he is deserving of a good chant!

How about this, I have no doubt that the Blue Voice would give a cracking go at the Polish national Anthem and I'm sure Kacper would stand still and salute them:Winking:.

Poland has not yet perished,
So long as we still live.
What the foreign force has taken from us,
We shall with sabre retrieve.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

We’ll cross the Vistula, we’ll cross the Warta,
We shall be Polish.
Bonaparte has given us the example
Of how we should prevail.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

Like Czarniecki to Poznań
After the Swedish annexation,
To save our homeland,
We shall return across the sea.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.

A father, in tears,
Says to his Basia
Listen, our boys are said
To be beating the tarabans.

March, march, Dąbrowski,
From Italy to Poland.
Under your command
We shall rejoin the nation.
 
The majority of chants seem very generic these days. I hear them sung at Roots Hall and with Southend away. Then I hear the same songs on the TV with Prem clubs.

It’s probably quite hard to get a unique song going. And whenever you do and it picks up like Will Grigg’s one it then gets taken on by other clubs with different players names.
 
He flies through the air with the greatest of ease
He's Kacper Lopata with no trampoline
His movements are graceful, as he jumps in the breeze
And the ball it is headed away.

To the tune of the Daring young man on the flying trapeze.
 
Warning to all the sensitive types.
To the tune of Chuck Berry's My Ding a Ling:

When I was a little boy,
My grandmother bought me a brand new toy,
A Col U fan on a piece of string,
She told me to kick his effin head in,
Ooooh effin head, effin head in,
She told me to kick his effin head in,
and repeat......
