Do you sing Sussex By The Sea as the team comes out?

well someone either needs to post the 'proper' words or post a link.

Have you met google, its quite clever you know

 

[Hamilton]

I certainly do.

And I persist in singing the second verse whilst everyone else is clapping and generally shouting after the premature chorus.

 

[zeetha]

I think putting the words in the programme would be a good idea if the club don't want to put them on the screens.

Heres a history of the words

 

[Philzo-93]

Now let your hearts be gay.....

Now let your hearts be GAY

Hark to the merry bugles

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Hark to the merry bugles

Sounding along our way

 

[Philzo-93]

Sounding along our way

So let your voices ring my boys.

 

[SeagullSongs]

So let your voices ring my boys.

And take the time from me.

 

[Birdie Boy]

And I'll sing you a song, as we march along

 

[shaolinpunk]

I try and sing in time with the music without getting distracted/swept along with the ever-increasing pace of the clapping and singing.

If I do succeed in staying in time with the music not the crowd I just look a bit special clapping at a completely different rhythm to everyone else. I can't win.

Going to get pelted for this one but I think we should ditch Sussex by the sea for the start of the game and get something loud and modern to get the players pumped before the start of the game...Lets not get rid of our famous anthem but maybe play it as a cool down after the game.

Most of the rocky 5 album will do!

of Sussex by the sea.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

For we're the men from Sussex

 

[SeagullSongs]

Sussex by the sea

The trick is NOT to clap. If we all sing it along with the music, it'll sound great. We don't need to clap, just sing... it's the clapping that makes it speed up.

Incorrect. It's "we plough and sow and reap and mow"

No... sadly not!

not nearly as clever as you obviously

 

[blue2]

I hope we all sing the Stand or Fall (proper) version?

PG

I sing verse two we Plowright the fields and scatter usefull men are we and all that you can tell them all that we stand or fall For Sussex by the Sea

Among our little group we salute a la Benny Hill style and sing along with de de de de de de de de rather than actual words. Dont ask me why but it originated from Withdean days. I guess we look proper twats.
