Alan Pardew's having a party
We sent the Palace down
You dirty northern bastards!
Used to really like the "we've got Chris Perry" one, Deano, Roo-fus, Oh Andy Hunt, Super Clive, who's that scoring goals....
Dislike:
Your sister is your mother.... It was nicked from someone else who sang it about Norwich, and I think it only works for them. There isn't a joke that people from Blackpool or wherever are inbred.
The "easy" clapping this, before we let 2-0 slip back to 2-2!
We are the H block, we are the J block etc - they only sing it when the game's got boring.
C...I...F...C - that's how it sounds!

Grand Old Team To Play For
Who's that team they call the Charlton...
Goodbye horse

HATE:
Red Army
You're Support... (apart from a few hundred ours is always worse!)
C.A.F.C
Easy
Anything when people pretend to know the words!
2. Generally dislike aggressive chanting against the opposition - it always seems to backfire. The one exception being being We Sent The Palace Down (Amarillo) -that one's a treat.
3. Can't be doing with We Are Charton, Covered End (Sailing) that's a Millwall tune and should be well avoided.
4. Valley Floyd Road (Mull) is a boring dirge, though it does seem to be the one we sing the best. I wish we could come up with somthing more upbeat and contemporary to be our anthem.
5. I always enjoyed Goodbye Horse (Bless 'em All) for its amusement value. I always imagine the opposition fans going "WTF".
your too young mate this is a great old song,you stick to pride of all london which is absolute pony,what kind of line is we hate the palace cos they are all mouth.Christ thats nearly as gay as CAFC CAFC.
I always shoot an anxious sideways glance towards the North Upper and put my finger up to my lips as you know just what's gonna happen.
And boy oh boy, how often it does!
Family
Your support is f****** s***

Hate:
Your support is f***ing s**t (makes us look like complete dicks for reasons mentioned above)
The really slow Charlton (Amazing Grace)
Sha la la la la (boring now, makes us look like dicks)
CAFC and Bang Bang Red Army (especially at home when the plastics join in in their seats for about 50 seconds then it peters out)
Easy, Easy (ARRGH worst of them all. usually sung when we've just scored against a completely shite team in the 86th minute) Mind you it was funny at Liverpool when we were already relegated and Holland scored 2 minutes after the game started!
Goodbye Horse
HATE:
Red Army
You're Support
C.A.F.C

I was born under the covered end
Yep add that to my list of hates.
I was born under the Covered End to my list of likes to the tune of Lee Marvin's I was born under a wandering star. It hasn't been sung in years though.

"At least we own the corner flags" as we were tenants at Selhurst at the time
Does anybody know the origins of the song?
Words, music and origins wanted of Goodbye Horse.
Perhaps of Royal Navy origin?
In the RN (1940s-1950s)a horse was a girlfriend (usually a casual one!).
He was saying goodbye to his horse,
He was saying goodbye to his horse,
And as he was saying goodbye to his horse,
He was saying goodbye to his horse,
Goodbye horse [Goodbye horse]
Goodbye horse [Goodbye horse]
He was saying goodbye to his horse,
Last night he was saying goodbye to his horse,
He was saying goodbye to his horse.
Maybe goodbye horse should be a sticky
Never heard of that before. Interesting. What was the source and citation?
From memory, these are lyrics Splodgenessabounds (they of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps fame) used when they occasionally sang it as an intro when playing live.
'if i had the wings of a sparrow'
'my old man said be a palace fan'
'pc jim'
Hate: The bouncy when done by about 3 people
