View Full Version : Lyrics - Everywhere We Go - ish
It was 42p a can.
First time I heard it was on a double deckerbus in Newquay sang by Nige the punk.
Then Alan with all the full verses and their were many many verses. Trouble is over the years it has been $$$$$$$ised that much that sometimes the verses dont sound anything like the original.
Then of course we have a variation in speed, getting faster along with the handclap.
Im not saying that this is politically correct or not full of darkly racist tones, Im just remembering how the words roughly went, I dont think I'm that far off :rolleyes:
Chorus
Everywhere we go
People wont to know
Ah where the hell are you from?
We're from Wolverhampton
Lovely Wolverhampton
Colourful Wolverhampton
cornershop verse
Buy a cornershop now
sell cheaper lager
banks's mild 42p a can
tennents Supra, 68p a can
taxi verse
buy a taxi firm now
run a cheap cortina
with a furry dashboard
and a nodding doggy
48p a mile
boat verse
Buy a cheaper boat now,
and sail to sunny England,
smuggle in ranjit
on a false passport,
with loads and loads of cocaine
hidden in a suitcase
ranjits got aids now
transfusion for the Right Side
terraced house verse
Buy a terraced house now,
paint the doorstep orange
paint the inside purple
40 in the bathroom
30 in the bedroom
A palace for the Right side
and of course, buy a football club verse,
Buy a football club now,
get relegated
get promotion
in the first season
SACK THE BHATTIS
now Wolves are back in business
Chorus
Everywhere we go
People wont to know
Ah where the hell are you from?
We're from Wolverhampton
Lovely Wolverhampton
Colourful Wolverhampton

You got Banks’ Mild
At 44 p a can
You got Tennants Super

A selling cheaper poppadoms

At one pound 40 p
You got chicken madras
At one pound 20 p
You got curry sauce
At 45 p a time
You gotta buy a football club now
And call it Wolver-hamper-ton
You gotta get promotion
Now in the first season
You gotta get relegated
And SACK THE BHATTIS
Find some new Directors
And Wolves are back in business
And we’re the famous Right Side
THE RIGHT SIDE!
THE RIGHT SIDE!

Itsmee,
There wasn't a boat verse as far as I recall...it was an airplane......as per:
Buy a Cheapo airline
call it Air Pakistan,
Smuggle brother Ranjit
into Britain
on a forged passport
5 kilograms of cocaine
hidden in his suitcase
etc...so many verses....wish I had my original songsheet....very few of them around even then.
London Wolf,,,that was closer than My memory, i think you are nearly spot on.
Florida Wolf like you say many verses, i did have an original sheet a many many years ago, but do remember the boat, honestly cant remember the plane one, then again did drink alot of beer !!

The Taxi verse was in along with the Takeaway. Remeber standin on top of a White mini van with the songsheet outside the Hatherton on a Bank holiday Monday. That was a great day
I could not believe I'd forgotten the taxi verse,
If we can get it nailed between us, then anyone , including the newbies who always get the lyrics annoyingly totally wrong will have no excuse, issued with the express and star pull out (not)

Here we are having a serious discussion about lyrics / song writing that represented a generation of Wolves fans, that may have changed peoples lives ..forever...and you have to go and lower the tone by completely making up a very rude verse...Jaspa888 shame on you !! ;-)

Not made up, well not by me anyway, I promise.
Was told to be by an old time South Banker I used to have a ST next to - reckons they sang it in the 60's.

I'm sure the verse jaspa refers to was published in the Wolves song sheet edition of ALOB circa 1990. I've definitely heard of it before anyway, although I've never heard it sung at a match.
Both these songs were mainly sang by the Right Side at home matches, constatntly through the game. For those who dont know the Right side refers to the Right side refers to the Right side - upper tier of what was the John ireland Stand (now Steve Bull). there used to be approx 150 of us in that area, very vocal, started back when only 2 sides of the ground were open. Mot going to all away games, its at the away games that the rest of Wolves fans joined in.
Also songs like Father Abrahams,Trio etc....although Father Abrahams did seem to go on for ever and ever and ever. I remember one match the polce grabbing one of the main "choir" leaders on entry to the match and warning him that if he started the singing, they may well eject him !!!
