On The Ball, City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On The Ball, City, the Norwich City song, is regarded as the world's oldest football song.[citation needed]
- On the days to call, which we have left behind,
- Our boyhood’s glorious game,
- And our youthful vigour has declined
- With its mirth and its lonesome end;
- You will think of the time, the happy time,
- Its memories fond recall
- When in the bloom of your youthful prime
- We’ve kept upon the ball
- Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
- Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
- On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
- Steady on, now’s your chance,
- Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.
- Let all tonight then drink with me
- To the football game we love,
- And wish it may successful be
- And in one grand united toast
- Join player, game and song
- And fondly pledge your pride and toast
- Success to the City club.
- Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
- Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
- On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
- Steady on, now’s your chance,
- Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.
