General Songs & Chants

Anthems

Bumble Bee Tuna
(tune is "Bumble Bee Tuna" by Mephiskapheles - thanks Sean and Todd for this one!)

Yum Yum, Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Tuna!
I love Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Tuna!
Yum Yum, Bumble Bee, Bumble Bee Tuna!
Love a sandwich made with Bumble Bee!

(this song really has to be heard to be believed... :-)


Molly Malone
(tune is unique to the song, as far as I can tell - thanks to Sean and Todd for this one as well!)

It was in this fair city
Where the girls are so pretty
That I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone

As she rolled her wheel barrow
Down streets wide and narrow
Singing (clap-clap-clap-clap) (clap-clap-clap-clap) (clap-clap) GO CREW!

(the clap chants are on 1, 2, 2-and, 3 of a four beat measure)


You'll Never Walk Alone
(tune is from the musical Carousel)
(sung especially during a loss)

When you walk, through the storm
Hold your head, up high
And don't, be afraid, of the dark!
At the end, of the road, there's a golden sky
And the sweet, silver song, of the lark.

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed, and blown
Walk on, Walk on
With hope, in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone!

(anfield.merseyworld.com has a wav file of this song being sung for Liverpool in England)


Fitzy's Army
(tune is "Jackie's Army" - a Scottish song)

We're all part of Fitzy's Army
We're all out to win the league!
And we'll really shake 'em up when we win MLS Cup
Cause Columbus is the greatest football team!


We're Gonna Win the Cup!
(tune is "For he's a jolly good fellow")

We're gonna win the cup!
We're gonna win the cup!
Nobody believes us,
Nobody believes us,
Nobody believes us...
But we're gonna win the cup!


Yellow Soccer Team
(tune is "Yellow Submarine", by the Beatles - thanks to Todd and the Wrecking Crew, with Jose on the verses)

In our town, we have a team
Its a Yellow Soccer Team.
In our town, we have a team
Its a Yellow Soccer Team

We all cheer for a yellow soccer team,
A yellow soccer team,
A yellow soccer team, HEY!

The MLS Double
(tune is "Curly Shuffle", the Three Stooges song)

We are Columbus' soccer Crew
Shufflin' on down, doin' it for you
We're not here to start no trouble
We're just here to win the MLS Double!


The Black and the Gold
(tune is the Notre Dame fight song)

Cheer for the Black and the Gold,
Never eat bread when it has mold,
They won't ever let us down,
When our boys win we will trash our town,
Cheer for the Black and the Gold,
Cheer for them in the sun and the cold,
You'll get good karma if you cheer
For the Black and the Gold!


We've got a Stadium!
(tune is "We Are the Champions")

We've got a stadium, be ashamed!
There's no narrow field for you to blame...
We've got a stadium,
We've got a stadium,
No more excuses cuz we've got a stadium
Of our own!


I'm a Crew Fan and I'm Okay
(tune is "The Lumberjack Song", from Monty Python)

I'm a Crew Fan and I'm Okay,
I go to Hunt Park and I watch the Crew play.

Stern scores plenty, McBride scores too.
The team plays so pretty,
Just like a team from Serie A.
They'll score on you, maybe two or three!


I've Been Workin' on the Railroad
(tune is "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad")

I've been workin' on the railroad,
All the live long day.
I've been workin' on the railroad,
Just to pass the time away.
Don't you hear the whistle blowing?
Rise up so early in the morn.
Don't you hear the captain shouting
"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow,
Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.
Someone's in the kitchen, I know.
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.
Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o.
Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.
Strumming on the old banjo.

Chants & Cadences

You'll Never Beat Columbus
(this is more of a chant)

You'll never beat Columbus....OHIO!

(this is really a call-and-response chant - the first section is sing-song by a few people, and the "OHIO" is screamed by everyone within earshot)

Rock the House
(another chant, often done by Shadowbox)

Who rocks the house?
The Crew rocks the house!
And when they rock the house,
They rock it ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!


Do that Thing!
(yet another Shadowbox contribution)

Do that thing, where you put it in the other team's net!
OH YEAH!!

The Funky Chicken
(this one is a military style call-and-response)

Leader: How funky is your chicken? (All repeat)
Leader: How loose is your goose? (All repeat)
Leader: So come on, Crew fans! (All repeat)
Leader: And raise the roof! (All repeat)
Leader: I said, now raise the roof! (All: Raise the roof!)

Hey, Hey, Crew for me!
Hey, Hey, Crew for you!
Hey, Hey, Crew for us -
The Crew fight for Columbus!

(other options are "the Crew are..." or "the Crew play..." depending on who's around you and your comfort level)
