"Mind the gap" season - SONG


Recommended Posts

Tried this before on here but i'll try again. To the tune of sloop john b by the beech boys........

We beat 'em at Wembelee

2-1back in '93

On Boxing day in '79 we got four (oh we got four)

Then in twenty-twelve

They told us to mind the gap

but just like back then, we beat 'em again!

To be followed with a rousing chorus of this city is ours.

Try it to yourself, its actually quite good and celebrates each of the events highlighted in the OP.

Putting this out again now it seems we all know the tune. Same as Carlos had a dream if anyone is still not sure and have posted it on several occasions in the last few years.

Not one to start songs but if a group got this going it would be timeless unlike the current version which I love btw.

We've been laughing since Derby Day/Boxing Day/The 5th of May

 

Don't bow to pressure, the original was the best. All I would suggest is that it needs us to mumble '1979' after 'boxing day', before belting out the repeat again. Oh and don't force the rhyme, switch 'said they' to 'they said', less posh. And to solve the syllable problems in the last line, I'd suggest 'We've been laughing at the c*nts since boxing day [1979]'.

 

Actually you could change 'said' to 'squealed'. No it doesn't work in Line 2. Stick with said. Good effort.

Think this is the one I prefer (and I made it so roger all of you lol)

Saying derby day suggests 'since the last time we played them'....and exaggerates the fact we've not played them for ages...and won't be doing so either....for a long time lol

Mind the gap, mind the gap, said United

Mind the gap, mind the gap, said they

Mind the gap mind the gap, said United

We've been laughing since the 5th of May.

 

That is my personal favourite and could really get going.

 

Definitely this. 

 

The 5th of May part rolls off the tongue better than rest as well.

That Will definitely change to “they say" not said they.
