Greasy Chip Butty Song

[boo radley]

Does anyone think it needs a second verse? Although the best fooball song ever I think its too short. Can we write a second verse please from the :heart:

 

[s10blade]

change is not good.

 

[TonyAgana]

You empty my senses,
Like a pint for a tenner,
Like a defeat at Wembley,
Like a punch in the gut.

Like a 5 hour coach ride,
Like a fist up the arse hole,
Like Sheffield United,
Don't do it again.

Na na naa naa naa naa naa....

 

[Sensiblade]

and the first Verse is MAGNET not Maggots!!!!!!!!

and the first Verse is MAGNET not Maggots!!!!!!!!

a lot of youngsters sing maggots, when I tell then they think I am mad. That could be my twitching eye and drooling of course!

Way back in 1985' ish when the greasy chip butty song was in its infancy I remember lots of little versions.
Alot of people did sing "maggots" instead of "magnet" probably because of the fishing context.
Also we now sing" like a night out in sheffield" I remember all differing groups singing the area of sheffield from where they came. i.e "like a night out in intake" etc. etc. That was on the old standing kop when I was a lad & everything was black and white.!

Think you're right about the fishing context - I remember the line being "Like a bucket of maggots" and I just thought the club had sanitised it for the merchandise.

Another one that got lost along the way was -
"We ain't got a barrel of money
We ain't got Woodward or Currie
But with Brownie and Tonge
We've still got this song
UNITED"

Was far better than simply regurgitating the old 70s one!!

Are you saying get Tongy back so we can sing this? I'll have Browny back though and the old Tonge but not the Tonge who we sold

Not sure it got lost along the way....just not much point in singing about Browny (who made it obvious he wanted to leave) and Tonge (who we made it obvious we wanted him to leave)

Found this on BBC

Super Blademan, Sheffield
John Denver, a legend for sure and although I was never a fan of his music in general, this song is excellent. It expresses everything you feel for that special someone in so little words. It's also inspired the worlds best football anthem. UTB

Andrew Little, Nottingham (native of Sheffield)
Demver's finest and Sheffield's finest too. It is the anthem for Sheffield United! Known as the "Greasy Chip Butty song", it is "covered" by 20,000+ fans every home game to start both halves of the game. None of the other top 100 gets such a mass rendition on such a regular basis. A masterpiece

graham handyside
not only johns finest, but sheffield's finest song too!

Not that much point singing about Eddie Colquhoun for that matter either

How about "No Brownie or Tonge - but we still got this song" - that work better??

More on GCB from the might of wikipedia

Meaning

To a native of Sheffield the words are probably self explanatory; the words celebrate the many pleasures that can be had in Sheffield, culminating in the target of the fan's adoration, Sheffield United.

* Magnet refers to John Smith's Magnet, a beer once widely available in Sheffield. Some people claim that the second line is really Like a gallon of maggots. Maggots are obtained from fishing tackle outlets in denominations of imperial pints and hence this version would not be unreasonable, as fishing is popular in the region and hence a gallon of maggots would mean a good day out fishing.
* Woodbines refers nostalgically to a once popular brand of strong cigarette.
* Snuff is ground tobacco for sniffing up the nose.
* A Greasy chip butty can be purchased in any of the many local fish and chip shops. Butty is a slang word for a sandwich, and a chip butty is simply a sandwich where the filling is chips, ideally greasy and sprinkled with salt and vinegar. Generally, a white sandwich bap will be used for the bread. In Sheffield, these are simply known as Breadcakes.

+ GCB in Norwegian!!!!! wooo

Du fyller mine sanser,
Som et glass med St. Hallvard,
Som en pris under leppa,
Som ei halv ei med Aass,
Som ei natt ute i Drammen,
Som ei pølse på Dalen,
Åh Strømsgodset IF,
Kom fyll meg igjen,
Na na na na na na na OOO!
