THE LIONS’ ROAR – MILLWALL’S CHANTS

The lions, the lions

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da … roar (war)

Berty Mee said to Bill Shankly,

‘Have you heard of the North Bank Highbury?’

Shanks said, ‘I don’t think so,

But I’ve heard of the Millwall aggro.’

I was born under the Cold Blow Lane

Oh, I was born under the Cold Blow Lane

Boots are made for kicking, kicking in the head

I won’t stop fucking kicking until the fucking bastard’s dead

Knives are made for stabbing, stabbing in the head

I won’t stop fucking stabbing until the fucking bastard’s dead

Oh, South London’s wonderful, Oh, South London’s wonderful

It full of tits, fanny and Millwall, Oh, South London’s wonderful.

Bobby Moore, Bobby Moore, riding through the glen

Bobby Moore, Bobby Moore, with his merry men

Queer as a cunt, takes it up the bum

Bobby Moore, he’s no more, Bobby Moore.

Bobby Moore, Bobby Moore, running from The Den

Bobby Moore, Bobby Moore, he has sex with men

Queer as they come, takes it up the bum

Bobby Moore, he’s no more, Bobby Moore.

If I had the wings of a sparrow

If I had the arse of a crow

I’d fly over West Ham tomorrow

And then shit on the bastards below, below,

And shit on the bastards below.

Chim chimney, chim chimney, chim chim cherroo

We hate those bastards in claret and blue.

When I was just a little boy

I asked my father what will I be,

Will I be Arsenal? Will I be Spurs?

Here’s what he said to me:

Millwall … Millwall … Millwall … Millwall.

Hello, hello, we are the Millwall boys

Hello, hello, we are the Millwall boys

If you are a West Ham fan

Surrender or you’ll die

’Cos we all follow the Millwall.

’Ello, ’ello … Millwall agro

’Ello, ’ello … Millwall agro

My old man said be a West Ham fan

I said, ‘Fuck off, bollocks, you’re a cunt,’

We’ll take East London and all that’s in it

We’ll take The Boleyn with the West Ham in it

With axes and hammers, carving knives and spanners

We’ll show those bastards how to fight.

’Cos you’ll never take The Den with The Bushwackers in it

’Cos we’re the pride of South London.

Harry Roberts is our friend

Is our friend, is our friend,

Harry Roberts is our friend

He kills coppers.

Let ’im out he’ll kill some more

Kill some more, kill some more,

Harry Roberts.

Fuck ’em all, fuck ’em all

United, West Ham, Liverpool

’Cos we are the Millwall and we are the best

We are the Millwall so fuck all the rest

Fuck ’em all.
