...from the past.
That one about someone pinching your sombrero?......and doing a dirty deed in it?
Where did that one derive from

Would it be in the lines of this one?
It's not specially a footie song mind.

My sister Belinda
She pissed out the window
All over my favorite sombrero
I said, "You fat twat, you pissed on my hat!"
She said, "I don't effing well care-o."

Aye aye aye aye
Me and my soggy sombrero
I said, "You fat twat, you pissed on my hat!"
She said, "I don't effing well care-o."

I think in a Frankie Stockton stylee..... Mr Poolie Kev and myself can take credit for that one. Mind you, it did not involve a random rendition in the RAFA club so perhaps we're disqualified.

I remember in the 1991/92 season we were at home to Darlo & winning 2-0. It was the 2nd half & we were attacking the Rink End. Then Darlo played their ace card to try & get back into the game, they brought on John Borthwick. A minute or so after coming on he made a mistake & some wag in the Rink End shouted "thank you very much for buying Borthwick, thank you very much, thank you very, very much". Then the whole end joined in with him. Prudhoe in the Darlo goal was p*ssing himself laughing.

Unlike the new ones that make much more sense?

Monty......the version we used to sing went "O e o aero somebodys pinched my sombrero, the dirty tw.t he p.ssed in my hat and now I've got nothing to wearo" ......what, why, where from and how that came about I'll never know.

Aye, aye aye aye, somebodys pinched my sombrero.
Aye, aye aye aye, somebodys pinched my sombrero.
The dirty twat, has pissed in my hat,
and now I have nothing to wear-o

My sister Belinda, she pissed out the window,
all over my brand new sombrero.
then follow Montys bit....

A true classic from the seventies

Who was at Boston in that Cup replay that night?? There was a rendition of all the classics.

i was, my toes were that frozen i think they are still there.

That song is way older than the seventies though, before there was even such a thing as football chants.
The silghtly politer version we used to sing in Portuguese bars when I was on a contract there back in the early seventies goes

Aye-aye-aye-aye
Si, si, Señora
My sister Belinda pissed out of the window
All over my brand new sombrero

Then the verses are all on the lines of

I like the gin, it helps me keep thin
But I still prefer the vino
I ... love ... the vino

The tune Cielito Lindo is from a 19th century Mexican song. Alma Cogan, Britain's own singer of silly songs, had a hit with it in 1957.
The rude words were probably originally a rugby song.



Yes I know; I should have better things to do with my time.

Strange isn't it. I was just thinking the other day about "who's that copper with the helmet on..........." A particular favourite from the 70's

.......on the beat all day, on the wife all night........

...."you look in the dustbins for something to eat, you find a dead rat and you think it's a treat, in your ............ homes"

Well there was thee and me, Mr Glasses, Mr Mad, Mr Parmo I think.... ermmm who else?

I was there that night.
I was also there in the early seventies when they beat us 2-1 in the cup when old bald eagle, Jim Smith, was their player manager.
You can make some racket in that away end....good accoustics.
The very first chant I can remember at Pools was against Darlo and it was "dirty Greener" after their defender Ron Greener. Mr Greener didn't take prisoners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first song I remember was when Pools played Derby in the FA Cup around 83/84.

There's a circus in the town
Kenny Burns is a clown
Athur Cox has got the f***ing pox
And Derby County's going down

You're going home in a Hartlepool Ambulance....

You're going in the docks...

What were we thinking?? Best chest beaters in the League, but everyone else was the same only not as aggressive.
