Strange chants: part three
I don’t disapprove of this one as such, as it’s quite good fun (obviously taken in the spirit of not actually condoning violence), but I definitely think it qualifies as a bit of an odd chant, so here it goes:
When I was just a little boy
My father bought me a brand new toy
A Derby fan on a piece of string
But all I could do was kick his head in…Kick his head in… (you reds!)
Kick his head in… (you reds!)
All I could do was kick his head in!
Odd on so many levels - what kind of father would ever consider such a gift for their child? Who thought of it? What inspired it? It’s definitely a strange chant. Imagine waking up on Christmas morning, anticipating a new bike from Santa, and tied to the base of the Christmas Tree is a random sheepshagger looking a bit glum about the inevitable head-kicking-in he’s about to get.
Very odd indeed! It certainly takes all sorts…

Nice one - do these ramsfans require a muzzle ?
You might like to publish this image, the original was taken from a hotel near their ground.

I’ve no idea if it’s based on a real song or not, and unfortunately am not gifted enough to write the musical notation for you
