Sounded good yesterday. Can't recall a Charlton song being chanted for as long. Caught on quickly. Well done.

Me too - I think the only way I'm going to get it out of my head is to go into my garden and sing/clap it outloud about three times in a row.

Even I could write a better song than that.

Oh yeah ;-) ? Lyrics by John Keats I'm led to understand.

It's a weird song, but took off yesterday! Is it I followed 'them' or 'the'??

Apparently its "I followed on" but both of your words make a whole lot more sense to be honest.

That went straight over my head...clue please?

errrm, ironic statement about how poetic football chants are.

O-Randy-Hunt

I thought it was

Since I was young
I followed them
Cafc
The team for me

Covered End

Whether it is or not, I think it makes most sense & that's what we should sing.

Amazing isn't it

It's when I was young I followed one, cafc the team for me.

The Red Robin

Was forced to sit in the Bournemouth end on Saturday and thought this sounded good. Well done lads.

Unbelievable! We've only given it a couple or run outs, and Ajax have nicked it already.

I think for me this song is like the Andy Hunt one. I absolutely hated it, but still ended up singing it all the time anyway.

Fair play though, it did go down well yesterday.

Looks brilliant with the bounce!

Mendonca In Asdas

Wow , the Valley could be a rocking on Tuesday night with this level of excitement?

lol

I think it's a great chant but I agree with some others on here, the 'followed on' line is weird. Why not:

Since I was young
I've always sung
CAFC
The team for me

AFKABartram

Since I was young
I've hated blue
Got jumped by Chelsea
I followed through

iainment

I like the Ajax drummers, do they give masterclasses?

Miserableoldgit

I remember the good ol' days...........

Charltonparklane

I really can't see what the issue is with lyrics. Its very apt for a lot of Charlton fans.
I followed on = carried on family tradition.
Think it's brilliant.

Plaaayer

I hate this song, purely for the fact @WSS was shouting it in my ear all the way home yesterday when I was tired and hungover.

Even your 'interpretation' doesn't really make that line work. As I said, I love the chant but would love it even more if it made sense. presumably the on in 'followed on' is there to scan better and also sort of rhyme with 'young'- just make it a better rhyme:

Since I was young
I've always sung
CAFC
The team for me
