It's a grand old team is a great song but i think I can guess why you don't like but I do : - )
I like
Peter Varney's having a party
No. 1 in South London
The Famous Tottenham Hotspur went to Rome
VFR
Show me the way to go home
The one about the Victorian actor

Like:
VFR
Dum dum, dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum...Charlton!!
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!1 -
LIKE:
Biddy Boy
Pride of All London
Grand Old Team To Play For
Who's that team they call the Charlton...
Goodbye horse
VFR
Old songs - Mendonca, Youds, Hunt etc.
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!1 -
Not at all Henry, I quite like the Celtic version. I would love to know who Charlton FC are though...[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]It's a grand old team is a great song but i think I can guess why you don't like but I do : - )0 -
I agree with Algarveaddick.0

1. I'm probably the only one that like's Red Red Robin. I'd genuinely like us to sing it rather than just hearing the record - can't imagine it ever happening though.
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".0 -

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.1 -
I don't like 'Your not singing anymore' especailly after we've just gone one nil up at home, cos invariably we end up drawing or worse still losing.
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!0 -

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!0 -

I saw Charlton play at Hereford once....the home fans chanted:
"At least we own the corner flags" as we were tenants at Selhurst at the time0 -
Goodbye Horse. The last time I was at a game when it was sung was a match at Upton Park when a policeman was thrown from his horse so it seemed particularly appropriate.
Does anybody know the origins of the song?0 -
A quick Google reveals this about 'Goodbye Horse'
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.0 -
DA you need to do it again LOL
Maybe goodbye horse should be a sticky0 -

Never heard of that before. Interesting. What was the source and citation?0 -
The website I found 'Saying Goodbye to His Horse' was http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=107820&messages=6
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.0 -
need to get some of the old ones going
'if i had the wings of a sparrow'
'my old man said be a palace fan'
