We've got Peacock on the outside wing
And Treacy in the middle.
When the ball's in the back of the net
You'll hear the covered end sing, SING!.
And all you lads and lasses
With all your smiling faces
All go down the Covered End
To see the Charlton ACES!
(alternative last line, circa 1970:)
To see the boots and BRACES!

Stevie Coppells Illegitimate
He aint got no birth certificate
He's got AIDS he can't get rid of it
His a Palace B*****d
When you're freezing cold and hungry
...
You walk into the Waterman Arms and hear a mighty roar
F* off u xxx b@stds, we are the Charlton boys
Hiho Hiho we are the Charlton boys
Just been reading a football book from a few years ago (You're not singing anymore), and it highlights this song for Charlton ... which we used to sing a lot more often, years back. Below is the actual quote from the book:
"On the subject of being on the travelling road with Charlton's vast army of supporters, the red and white hordes can claim a degree of notoriety for being the only terrace choir in football history to have made a chant out of 1960's hit 'Riders in the Sky' - originally by The Ramrods but made famous by The Shadows. Reliable sources have intimated that the shouty bit, Yippee-yi-ay; yippee-yi-oh, is regularly revived up and down the country, with no other lyrics being attached - unique and decidely strange!"

This will be resurrected for Palace away, gotta be..!
My grandfather brought me a cute little toy....
"This will be resurrected for Palace away, gotta be..!"
That and "You're going to get your Fking head kick in!!"
The Charlton Covered End.
Boots were made for bootin'
And guns were made for shootin'
If you all go down the Covered End
We'll all stick the boot in!
Oh, I was born under the Covered End
The Charlton Covered End.
(To the tune of Lee Marvin's 'Wandering Star' from the film 'Paint your Wagon')

Who should be at work at the shaft

Wright is better than Yashin
Bonds is better than Eusebio
And we're gonna give Millwall a thrashing
Wow .. that's older than I thought!
Now we're back in division 2
"Bellotti's not Bonnetti, we can tell, tell, tell."
Dear old Derek Bellotti. He tried hard, a bit error prone - but not exactly the most legendary keeper in Charlton's history.

Just when we finally thought we had a unique song and you have to go and spoil it :-(
