Small Faces - Sha La La La LEIGH - (60's hit)

C'mon Matt - I know it's before your time but have a listen & maybe someone could come up with some appropriate lyrics. The chorus is ready made.

=redPicked her up on a Friday night
Sha la la la lee, yeah
I knew everything gonna be alright
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I asked her 'where do you wanna go?'
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Well we went someplace, I don't know
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I held her close and I asked her if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Oh yeh, oh yeh, oh yeh

She looked good and she moved so fine
Sha la la la lee, yeh
And all the guys knew she was mine
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

I held her close and I asked her again if she was gonna be my baby
It felt so good when she answered me
Oh yeh, oh yeh
Oh yeh, oh yeh, oh yeh

Wanna know how my story ends?
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Well we invited just a few close friends
Sha la la la lee, yeh
Sha la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la la la la la lee

Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee
Sha la la la la la lee

I was at a wake yesterday afternoon in Latchford and a lady from Warrington got up after everyone had had a few drinks and did the Wigan Haka. It was hilarious and I may perform it next time I am in Leigh.

Come on wednesday night.
See Ian Millward, the players, the new shirt and now Frankb doing the Wigan Haka.
Can't wait.

There you go Frank - how to get in without a ticket - 'Guest Entertainer'

do you not think its a bit erm.... long?

I've post this before, (did no good like

) last few lines need tweaking, someone suggested change it to rape and pledge

and then changed it to something else but I can't remember who or what



Is this the way to Amarillo (LSV)?

Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la
Sha la la la la la

When the day is dawning,
On a Leythers Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With the team who plays for me there
Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Ain’t as half as pretty,
As where the Leythers at

Is this the way to Leigh Sports village?
Every night I’ve been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of our village
And the team who plays me
Show me the way to Leigh Sports Village
We’ll have you weeping like a willow
Crying over our Village
And the team that plays for me

Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la – Leigh
Sha la la la la la la

5 years ago maybe, but the (original) song has been done to death, glow

I did say I'd posted it before,





How about the Floyd one then? or the Proclaimers 500 miles? sure they sing "Im a Leyther, I'm a Leyther, nah, nah, nah, nah, nar, nar,"

Flute song alternate

When i was young i had some sense
I bought a flute for twenty pense
The only tune that i could play
was we are Leigh Rugby
And we're here to stay

nananana Leigh etc...

Thats the true Leyther song for me class

Surely the point is to move away from The Flute Song.........whenever anyone tried to sing your version, the 'lunatic fringe' would sing the old lyrics, and we'd be back to square one - painted in a bad light by opposition fans, and the RFL!!

I've kind of lost touch with 'The Hit Parade' these days!! (Radio5 or Radio Manchester when I'm in the car most of the time!) Is there not some catchy, anthemic song currently riding high in the charts that could be adapted?? I suppose the real trick is to find a tune that no other fans use, and make it synonymous (sp?) with Leigh.

The problem with all theses suggestions (Except the Small Faces one) is that we're not creating a unique club anthem there, we're just nicking someone elses idea.

Chumbawumba's 'Tubthumping' seems appropriate to me at the moment.

How about "On top of the world" by The Carpenters

We're on the top of the world
Now we've escaped relegation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the coach we've found
And a stonking great "new" ground
And it's put us on top of the world..

Apologies to the late Karen C...

Silly Billy

I put the words on so that someone could adapt a section of the song and add it to the ready made chorus / chant.

Just one BIG flaw with these lyrics - we are NOT here to stay - we are here to GO UP

I like that, well known tune, easy lyrics.

This used to be sang regular a few years back in the Tommy Sale stand at HP (for those who can remember)

on fire ", for some reason when I hear the original I always start thinking " You need to get down to the doctors mate "

Lol Ste , we'd have to get someone to trawl back through the posts to find that one , it was donkeys years ago , well perhaps not donkeys but perhaps beginning of the year

Which is also sung as a sectarian song!

I never said it was n`t ,its usually sung by Irish provincial teams like Leinster or Munster.

How's about..

There's only one Paul Cullen
There's only one Paul Cullen
with a packet of sweets and a cheeky smile
Cullen is a ....... ..........


Now what's those last 2 words.

And Celtic fans.

On the team bus coming back from away games somebody used to ring a certain ex-Leigh player every time we turned into the rear of Hilton Park

I won't mention who the Ex Leigh player was - well not on here anyway


I know he reads this board so if he just happens to cross my palm with a tenner I wont tell

But that one's a pro IRA so singing that AND the'fute song' cancels each other out
