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 hate Rangers more than you! We ha te Rangers - more than you"# (sung by Aberdeen fans to Celtic fans).
#"Bobo's gonna get ye"# to the tune of "Belly's Gonna Get Ye" sung by Celtic fans when Dianbobo (Bobo!!!) Balde disses on some striker.

And if you want an affectionate anti-scouser chant,
"We've got Di Canio, You've got our stereos"
Everton fans love our Paolo.

And whilst we're at it:
We drink Champagne, we snort Cocaine,We've got ladies, over 'ere,You've got shit jobs, you shag your dogs,And your wife is on the game We drink Campari, We drive Ferrari,We've got labels in our livesYou've got bus stops, second hand shopsAnd you're mum's in readers wives
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
Original verse penned on a bus from White Hart Lane, legend has it.

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 would have killed to see him back in the blue and white. Treacle was always quality for us, you are aware of the Spurs equation aren't you?
Anyway, I've no idea if this was ever an actaul chant, but I saw a play about a goalkeeper once which had the chant
There's only one John Mckenna, one John Mckenna,a packet of sweets, a cheesy smile,Mckenna is a paedophile

Went to the 98 World Cup final, and on the way back on the train, we taught the defeated Brazilian fans in our carriage to sing "He's fat/ He's shit/ He's never fucking fit/ Ronaldo/ Ronaldo." Which is not that funny in and of itself, but was when sung by 200 Brazilians in yellow shirts.
