Songs & Chants
Below are some of the regular songs you will hear ringing around 'the old shed' on matchdays, learn them word for word and get singing to the determent of you voice for the boys in red!!
Although, new songs are needed and all ideas are appreciated, so get your song-writers cap on and starting drumming up some new inventive chants for the Red & White Army to belt out!!
Probably the most used song of them all :
Walking Down The Brownstown Road -
To see the Shamrock Aces;
All the lads - you should've seen us coming;
The greatest team in all the land;
You should've seen us going;
All the Lads with Lassies - Smiles upon their faces;
Walking Down the Brownstown Road -
To see the Shamrock Aces!
To the tune of "Oh, When the Saints":
Oh When The Reds ;
Oh When the Reds ;
Go Marching In;
Go Marching In;
Oh When the Reds - Go Marching In -
I wanna be in that number;
Oh when the Reds go marching in!
'The Pride of Craigavon':
We Are The Pride Of Craigavon;
The Kings of the North;
We hate the Glenavon,
Those b**stards - of Course;
With Bottles of Vodka and Bottles of Wine;
The Portadown boys are in town.
A little song for our Spade friends:
Walk down the road;
Sign on the dole;
Go and get f**kin' plastered;
Then go home and beat up the wife;
You dirty Lurgan b*stard.
And something for our Belfast cousins:
In your Bel-fast slums;
You'll hoke in the dustbin for something to eat;
You'll find a dead rat and you'll think it's a treat;
In your Bel-fast slums
In your Bel-fast slums;
Your Ma gets her money at the side of the street;
She smells like a tart and she thinks it's just sweet;
In your Bel-fast slums.
"Portadown we love you":
We hate shitty Glentoran -
We hate Linfield too (THEY'RE SCUM)
We hate Bally-mena;
But Portadown we love you.
Altogether now . . . .
The song of choice when playing Ballymena United
Her-o-in -
Her-o-in -
If you come from Ballymena
~ then you're into Heroin.
A popular song when facing a Belfast based team:
Oh we hate Belfast;
And we hate Belfast;
We hate Belfast;
And we hate Belfast'
We hate Belfast;
And we hate Belfast'
WE ARE THE BELFAST HATERS!
SCUM - SCUM - SCUM - SCUM - SCUM . . . . .
Another one for the Lurgan scum:
You Lurgan B*stard
NA-NA-NA - SHO-BEE-DOO-WAA
WHA-OOO-OOO - SHO-BEE-DOO-WAA
You Lurgan B*stard
"We're Portadown":
Oh We're Red,
We're White,
We're F**kin Dynamite;
We're Portadown,
Portadown
Oh We're Red,
You're dead,
We're bouncing on your head;
We're Portadown,
Oh - Portadown.
"Build a Bonfire"
Build a Bonfire;
Build a Bonfire;
Put the Linfield on the top,
Put the Glentoran in the middle -
And we'll burn the f**kin lot!
The immortal:
We are the P - F;
The P - F - C!
One of the most famous Chorus' that is renound to shamrock, to the tune of Andrew Lloyd Weber's Jesus Christ Superstar:
P O R - T A D - O W N
Portadown F - C
This song is mostly only sung on buses on our way to matches:
Put on your waistcoat - jacket;
And journey once again;
To a pub in Edenderry;
The Ulster Arms by name;
That's where they drink the Buckfast;
That Buckfast pure and fine;
And if you come from Portadown;
You'll drink the Buckfast wine.
Followed by that immense chant:
Buck-fast Wine -
We drink it all the time;
And we can't help -
Drinking the Buckfast Wine.
The Mickeys song, to the tune of "The Hockey Coky":
You Put Your Forehead In,
Your forehead out,
In out, in out, shake it all about
You do the Mickey Collins and you turn around,
That's what its all about…
Ooohhh Mickey-Mickey Collins
Ooohhh Mickey-Mickey Collins
Ooohhh Mickey-Mickey Collins
That's what its all about!!
Or the legend and sadly now departed, Phil Major, who had more success in the Seagoe with his passing than anywhere else, (allegedly) if you know what I mean.
Baggio;
Baggio;
Oh his name is Philly Major -
But they call him Baggio
John Convery: Big John Convery tra-la-la-la-la
"500 miles"
I would walk five hundred miles,
And I would walk five hundred more,
Just to see the man who walked a thousand miles -
to see the Portadown score.
Na-na-na-na . . . . .
The famous song recorded by the team itself!:
We're red - We're white,
We play like dynamite,
The best you've seen,
We're Ronnie's red machine;
But don't think that we've finished,
We've only just begun,
When it comes to next year,
We'll still be number one.
"Everywhere we go"
Everywhere we go
~Everywhere we go
People want to know
~People want to know
Who we are
~Who we are
And where the hell we come from
~And where the hell we come from
We're the boys in red and white
~We're the boys in red and white
We love to sing - we love to fight
~We love to sing - we love to fight
WHA-OO-OO
~WHA-OO-OO
WHA-OO-OO
~WHA-OO-OO
WHA-OO-OO Portadown
Portadown -
I'd walk a million miles ~
For one of your goals
WHA-OO-OO Portadown
Or the alternative:
There was a bird
~There was a bird
A Belfast bird
~A Belfast bird
It landed on
~It landed on
My windowsill
~My windowsill
I coaxed it in
~I coaxed it in
With a piece of bread
~With a piece of bread
And then I smashed
~And then I smashed
The b*stard's head
~The b*stard's head
So here we go - We're at it again
We're moving up - We're moving in
We are the boys - From Portadown
We are the best - so f*ck the rest
My old man:
My old man said to be a portadown fan,
And don't dilly dally on the way,
we took the oval in half a minute,
we took the oval and all thats in it,
with hatchets and hammers,
stanley knives and spanners,
we showed the ba***ards,
how to fight,
if you can't take a glen man in half a minute,
then your not a portadown fan.
