AVONMOUTH CLUB SONG
(This is the song with which you pledge your allegiance to Avonmouth Hockey Club – please sing it with feeling and respect!!)
(Sung to the tune of ‘Bread of Heaven’ – which I’m sure you all know! – with your right hand on your heart and your left hand up in the air.)
We don’t play for personal glory,
We don’t play for personal gain.
We just play to make matters glorious
And to win the occasional game.
Avonmouth, Avonmouth, we’ll support you ever more (evermore)
We’ll support you ever more.
Win or lose, win or lose, win or lose we’ll hit the booze (hit the booze)
Win or lose we’ll hit the booze.
VICTORIOUS
We were drunk last night
We were drunk the night before
And we’re gonna get drunk tonight
Like we’ve never been drunk before.
Victorious, victorious, one pint of beer between the four of us
Glory be to God, there ain’t no f***ing more of us
‘Cos one of us has the f***ing lot
And I’ll be there; I’ll be there
When the beer’s on the table I’ll be there.
Fight on, fight on, fight on to victory
Fight on to victory

(Lead) We sing louder!!

Repeat –faster and louder
ROLL A SILVER DOLLAR
Roll a silver dollar along the ground and it will roll because it’s round
A woman doesn’t know what a good man she’s got
Until she puts him down, down, down, down
Listen my hearties, listen to me
I want you to understand (2,3,4)
As a silver dollar goes from hand to hand, so a woman goes from man to man
I said a man without a woman, is like a ship without a sail
He’s like a boat without a rudder, or a fish without a tail
I say
A man without a woman is like a wreck upon the shore
And if there’s one thing worse in the universe
Then that’s the woman, I said a woman, I said a woman without a man.
This leads into…
Amy, Amy, Amy my boy what are you waiting for now?
You promised to marry me some time in June
It’s never too late and it’s never too soon
All the family, keep on asking me,
Which way, what way, I’m on the family way
Amy, Amy, Amy my boy, what are you waiting for now?
Which leads into…
The bells are ringing for me and my girl
Shoo be do, shoo be do
The Parson’s waiting for me and my girl
And someday soon I’m going to build a little house for 2 or 3 or 4 or 64
In love land for me and my girl
Shoo be do, shoo be do, shoo be do… (Fade)
