To take our minds of the shirt issue, found this Jack Song

I kid you not this is a link to an article I found on the BBC news site.

As I'm outside of UK I'm not sure if that link will work but here is a cut/paste job from the article.

SWANS' WAR SONG LYRICS

Look out here comes a crowd of jolly fellows all looking gay. Bent on a visit to the football field to watch two teams play

Which side they favour you will quickly know when both lots turn out. For when " Nick " or Hamilton lead their boys upon the field

You'll hear them loudly shout:

Chorus: We are the Swans' supporters, we are the village boys

When our team is playing, hear us all hurrahing. Shouting, Coleman, now then, SHOOT for goal, man

Now, Bally, pass it to Swarby, Jimmy don't shoot too far; IT'S IN ! (ha! ha!) we grin (ha! ha!) we make an awful din as we all shout hurrah!

If we should travel by excursion when our boys play away. Our antics create much diversion, for you'll hear people say:

Who are those noisy lot of bounders who command all the train?

The word goes round that they don't know who we are. Then we all sing this refrain..."


Apparently it was sung to a tune called "The Chocolate Major" :shock:

"A crowd of jolly fellows all looking gay" :? Could be same lot that turned up for the England game :lol: :lol:

Not an easy song but as we have at least a season to perfect it before we play the JB's again :lol: :lol: :lol:
