Your Favourite Chant

[southend4ever]

What's your favourite Southend chant of all time?

So simple yet used to be supported in large numbers but for me one of my favourites was:

OH MARKY RAWLE
MARKY MARKY MARKY RAWLE
MARKY MARKY MARKY RAWLE
MARKY MARKY MARKY RAWLE
OH MARKY RAWLE.... (repeat)

Good times. Also enjoy the 12 days of Christmas song to adapt to our players wearing shirt numbers 1-12.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

My favourite chant of all times is "oh what fun it is to see Southend win away" with the tune of Jingle Bells.

Not great on it's own, I admit ............ but it was being sung away at Cambridge, Butler had just curled in the ball to the back of the net - a wonderful goal (final score 4-1?) and I (for some reason) was sitting in the main stand.

A wee laddie said to his dad "why are they singing jingle bells when it isn't Christmas" to which some Southend wag replied "it is for us" :hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious::hilarious:

........... shame humour like that has been replaced by idiots who think that swearing makes them "a man" ..........

 

[Gremlin]

I'll be surprised if the Mark Rawle one is beaten.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

And then I remember the chants of "Champione" away at Leicester (we still lost 1-0 I think) when we were back in the second division.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

"Oh what fun it is to see southend win away" on a boxing day is brilliant.

Some for the games they weer in:
"2 nil up, we f***ed it up" at Rotherham having been 2-0, 2-2, then winning 4-2
"6-1, even Wilson scored" at Layer road the year we won the league
"Who let the Abbey Out" at Orient, my first away game

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

''Bertie Mee said to Bill Shankly, have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?
Shanks said no I dont think so,
but I've heard of the Southend
North Bank.''

 

[ThundersleyShrimper]

Going back to the 1980's we used to have a steward in the West Stand who would always have a fluorescent donkey jacket on, once or twice a game he would stroll past "looking the part" until one wag chanted:

Wheres' your lifeboat,
Wheres' your lifeboat,
Wheres' your lifeboat, lifeboat man,
You ain't got one, your a w***er,
Your a w***anker lifeboat man!

Do not see much of him after that!

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

Ted McDougall, super star?
Looks like a woman and he wears a bra ..............:blush:

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

''In your Liverpool homes, in your Liverpool homes,
you look in the dustbin for something to eat,
you find a dead cat and you think it's a treat,
in your Liverpool homes.''

 

[David Essex]

"youre going home in a southend ambulance"

 

[Chaucer]

I always thought that "sh*t town no jobs" was rather funny the first time I heard it - think it was Northampton at home about 10 years ago.

Also our retort to the Spurs fans at WHL in one of the cups - "get back to your council house" after they had rather originally suggested that we should "go back to our caravans".

To the old Millwall tune no one likes us

No one likes him
No one likes hims
No one likes him but he dont care
His is bungle super bungle
Super bungle from roots hall

As I remember directed at some poor sod of a steward in front of the north bank

 

[hockleyeast1964]

We've got a pier we've got a pier
You ain't you aint.

 

[E for B and Billy Best]

Whos up Mrs Brown Whos up Mrs Brown,
Tommy Tommy Docherty, Tommy Tommy Docherty
(derby away 1978)

 

[Uncle Leo]

"Ee-i-ee-i-ee-i-o
Up the Football League we go
When we get promotion
This is what we sing
We are the Southend, we are the Southend, Southend football team
SEA-SEA-SEA-SIDERS"

Because when we're singing this one, times are good.

And of course...

"When I was an itty bitty boy
My Grandma gave me a brand new toy
A Col Ewe fan, on a piece of string
She told me to kick his ****ing head in
****ing head in
****ing head in
She told me to kick his ****ing head in...."

Because it's a pleasant reminder of how superior we are to our Essex 'rivals'.

 

[sufcwatcha1]

U are my Southend, my only Southend
u make me happy , when skies are grey
u never notice how much I love u
until u take it my Southend away ,
la la la oh la la la oh ....

'we can see u sneaking out' aimed at a very old bloke walking out of the ground , Oldham away fa cup

[Richard Hearn]

Their sisters are their mothers
Their fathers are their brothers
They all love one another
The Col U family


Makes me chuckle.

 

[Napster]

Young girl get out of my life

Or is this Jimmy Saville songs?

To the old Millwall tune no one likes us

No one likes him
No one likes hims
No one likes him but he dont care
His is bungle super bungle
Super bungle from roots hall

As I remember directed at some poor sod of a steward in front of the north bank

I remeber the bungle chant - brilliant !
He was only a young lad.
Early 90's I think , but my mind may be playing tricks

 

[The Big Shrimp]

We're not cockneys, we're Southenders, is a favourite if mine!
