Are you sure about that last naaaaa, I think that makes it sound like the Blakes seven theme tune?
So my favourite song has to be a version of Ottowan's D.I.S.C.O Which our near neighbours SWFC Changed to D.I.CANIO. He was being a wanker and we were 2-1 up Singing D.I.WANKIO, D.IWANKIO!!!!
Oh and Walking in a Wilson Wonderland, as he took us up and Wednesday down!!!

Anyway, I'm probably answering a question that you already know the answer to but it's regarding the Greasy Chip Butty Song. Unsurprisingly us Sheffield United fans regard this as our song (I think the Grimsby fans must have nicked it) and it does go to the tune of Annie's Song by John Denver. Anyway, it goes like this...
You fill up my senses like a gallon of Magnet, Like a packet of woodbine, like a good pinch of snuff, Like a night out in Sheffield, like a greasy chip butty, Like Sheffield United, come fill me again. Nana na na na naa etc.
It is a constant source of amusement amongst older Blades because the young chabbies always sing about a gallon of maggots. Bless their little cotton socks, they have never heard of the beer brewed by John Smiths and think that pint pots full of maggots is a pleasurable experience.

We wear Gucci, we wear Armani,We've got cashmere over here,You've got shell suits, wellington boots,And your haircut's soooooo last year

No No No. It's:Alex Ferguson's illegitimate / he ain't got a birth certificate / he's got AIDS and he can't get rid of it / he's a ... bastard.
But of course the definitive football chant is:We are not we're not really here / we are not we're not really here / just like the fans of the invisible man / we're not really here.
What possesses grown men with little imagination to sing along with such bizarreness? OK, peer pressure is the answer. Yet it remains mighty strange to hear x-thousand people singing this.

Favourite? On seeing an inflatable skeleton in the Kop, Man U fans chanting "Shankly is back, whoa, whoa"
Least Favourite? That "you're not very good" one that seemed to be sung every week at Selhurst Park by the visiting fans
― winterland, Tuesday, 2 March 2004 21:43 (twenty years ago) link
I read that the "We're not really here... just like the fans of the invisible man" song was started by Man United fans in the 70s after the 'Red Army' got banned from everywhere for repeated hooliganism. They weren't supposed to be at any of the games, but they got in en masse anyway, hence the song. I don't know why Man City fans sing it every week now.

I'm watching the play-off semi between Brystal Palace and Cristol City at the moment and I can hear a chant to the tune of Sloop John B (the bit which goes "I feel so broke up, I wanna go home"), but I can't make out the words. As far as I know, Man Utd started using this tune for chants about 5 years ago, and over the last few years it's spread to several clubs, but with different words every time.
First up United sang about City's new stadium: We paid for their home, We paid for their hoooooome, What a waste of council tax, We paid for their home
Then midway through the 04/05 season this one took off: He plays on the left, He plays on the riiiiiight, that boy Ronaldo, makes Beckham look shite
Then after Liverpool won the European Cup they started singing: We won it five times, we won it five tiiiiiimes, in Istanbul*, we won it five times *this doesn't seem to scan, so there might be another word or two which I've missed out
To which United responded by playing the Heysel card: We won it two times, we won it two tiiiiiimes, without killing anyone, we won it two times
Then, in the wake of the 06 World Cup, the Ronaldo song was changed so that it was England instead of Beckham (and some people sang 'winks' instead of 'plays').
Then earlier this season Arsenal started singing: Adebayor, Adebayooooooor, give him the ball, and he will score
To which Spurs responded with: Adebayor, Adebayooooooor, his Dad washes elephants and his Mum is a whore
Then just recently I've heard Chelsea singing (in response to Liverpool's jibes): We're going to Moscow, we're going to Moscoooooow, fuck your history, we're going to Moscow
