Welcome to a silly page full of Sheffield United chants and songs. Especially prepared for you (and for his own amusement) by GreyDesk, just so that you know what we are singing about when your team is getting stuffed at Bramall Lane biggrin

<SMILEY TYPE="football"/>

Our Tunes whistle

Sung to the tune of John Denver's "Annies Song". And probably our favourite song smiley

You fill up my senses
Like a gallon of Magnet
Like a packet of Woodbines
Like a good bit of stuff
Like a night out in Sheffield
Like a greasy chip butty
Like Sheffield United
Come thrill me again
Lala La La Uuurgh


Sung in celebration of our great victory over The Piggies in the 100th league match between our two clubs, to the tune of "Mary's Boy Child"

Hark, now hear United sing
The Wednesday ran away - again
And we will fight forever more
Because of Boxing Day


It sounds a bit like 'For He's a Jolly Good Fellow' and is our 2002/03 campaign song as it were.

The Blades are going up
The Blades are going up
And now you'd better believe it
And now you'd better believe it
And now you'd better - believe - it
The BLADES ARE GOING UP


And another addition for the 2002/03 season, celebrating the glories of past players.

We ain't got a barrel of money
We ain't got Woodward or Currie
We're walking along
Singing our song
U-NI-TED


These are usually our opening gambits at away matches to wake up the natives and tell them that the lads from the Shoreham Street Kop are in town!

Hello Hello we are the Shoreham boys
Hello Hello we are the Shoreham boys
And if you are Wednesday-ite
surrender or you will die
We all follow United!


We are Blades, We are Blades
We are we are we are Blades
We are Blades, We are Blades
We are we are we are Blades


We love our players and we want them to know it.

'ees a Blade 'n 'ees a Blade
Nah Nah Nah Nah
'ees a Blade 'n 'ees a Blade
Nah Nah Nah Nah

Rob Page, Rob Page
Robert, Robert Page
He's got no hair, but we don't care
Robert, Robert Page


An oldie, but still a goodie. Done to the tune of 'My Old Man'.

My old man said be a Wednesday fan
I said f*ck off, b*llocks, you're a c*nt
He said, come on, we're going to the game
I said, f*ck off, I'm going down't Lane
And so I went down to John Street
Found myself, a good seat
Saw the lads go two up at the break
Then went to the bar, for a pint of Magnet,
and a meat pie filled with steak.


And for whenever Neil is looking a bit bored.

Warnock give us a wave
Warnock, Warnock give us a wave


Guantanamera. Probably the most useful and widely used tune for footie song in history smiley

Down with the Wednesday
You're going down with the Wednesday
Down with the Wed--nes--day
You're going down with the Wednesday

Small town near Walsall
You're just a small town near Walsall
Small town near Wal--sa--ll
You're just a small town near Walsall

We've adopted the Piranha's song 'Tom Hark' as our goal celebration. Ok so the words aren't much, just a repetition of

Nah-na-na, nah-na-na, na-na-na-nah, nana-na-nah

However we accompany it by jumping up and down and rythmically pumping the air with our fists. I tell you, it looks and sounds pretty impressive when you've got 25,000 Blades doing it all together smiley


Our new and improved version of "Singing The Blues"

Never felt more like swinging a pig
From Hyde Park Flats
To Wadsley Bridge
UNITED
You've got me swinging a pig
As yer do As yer do


A bit agressive this one when done properly. But hey, who cares evilgrin

No Pig fans in town
No Hillsborough to sadden my eye
Jack Charlton is DEAD
And the Pig fans have fled
And the year is Eighteen Eighty Nine


In celebration of the Pigs diabolical season we resurrected an old number from a few years ago, sung to the tune of 'Lord of the Dance'.

Wednesday whatever will you do
You're going down to Division Two
You won't win a cup
You won't win a shield
Your next derby's against the Barnsley scum


And we can rap...winkeye

I spy with my little eye,
Something beginning with P playing catch up.
Sit back and watch the points just stack up,
And the teams we beat are starting to crack up.
We know you all wanna switch teams.
Cos' we're the best, and we're living for a Blades supreme.


To the tune of Rod Stewart's "Sailing" (well, sort of I suppose erm )

We are Bladesmen
We are Bladesmen
Super Bladesmen From The Lane
We are Bladesmen
Super Bladesmen
We are Bladesmen From The Lane


Usually sung just after we've gone 1-0 down. So you'll probably hear it quite a lot.

We'll never be mastered by no Wednesday B*stards
We'll keep the red flag flying high
Forever 'n ever, we'll follow our team
Sheff Utd we are supreme

Or alternatively if we're feeling a bit bored, to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean"

If I had the wings of a sparrow
a the dirty black arse of a crow
I'd fly over Hillsborough tomorrow
and sh*t on the b*stards below
Sh*t on, sh*t on
Sh*t on the b*stards below, below


On the odd occasions when we are winning. These two are popular little ditties

Are you Wednesday?
Are you Wednesday?
Are you Wednesday in disguise?
Are you Wednesday - in - disguise?


ssssshhhhh sssshhhh
Can you hear the Wednesday sing?
No? No?
Can you hear the Wednesday sing
I CARN'T HEAR A F*CKIN' THING!
ssssshhhhh sssshhhh


The Blades always seem to come off second best when the "W*nker in the Black" makes a decision. So we've got a couple just for him

One-Nil to the referee
One-Nil to the referee
One-Nil to the referee....

The Ref's a Pig, The Ref's a Pig
The Ref's a cheating Wednesday Pig



<SMILEY TYPE="football"/>

1 A new and popular variant is to substitute the original, "Down with..." and in its place sing, "Bust like..." to celebrate the Piggies 25 squillion pound debt and parlous financial fortunes.
2 Sung with great relish to Wolves fans at Molineux
3 One-Nil, Two-Nil, Three-Two... up for edit as is necessaryerm
