Its like 7pm on a Sunday,
Its the worst time for us to play,
Hey FFA, won’t you let us stay?
Cause we are…. The Phoenix
----------------------------------
I feel it could do with some work, tune is good though.

Unsung but still worthy. Needs some choir practice.....
"I met my love by the gas works wall
Dreamed a dream by the old canal
I kissed a girl by the factory wall
Dirty old town, dirty old town."
"This is our club, belongs to you and me
We are Wellington, we're Phoenix FC
We may never go home
But we'll never feel down
When we build our own ground"
Jeffrey Sarpong, I want to be Jeffrey Sarpong
Our own Dutch/Ghanian number seven, our seven, our seven.
------------------------------------------
Tune works, second line maybe needs work though, all I could come up with.
Blatantly copied from Everton FC:
Ernie had a dream
To build our football team
We had no money so we signed some youth for free
In yellow and black
With Roy in attack
Well-ing-ton Phoenix
We're on our way back
Der der der, der der der, der der der REPEAT...
From the 15 second mark:
Powell, Powell will tear you apart, again...
[Repeat over and over]
Here's the Barmy Army in Perth singing Swann will tear you apart:
[From 15 secs]
Wheres Jeff? is he on the inside?
Wheres Jeff? is he playing out wide?
Theres Jeff, he will brush you aside!
Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Why yi yi yi
Jeffrey, Jeffrey here, Jeffrey, Jeffrey there,
Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, everywhere,
Jeffrey, Jeffrey here, Jeffrey, Jeffrey there,
Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Jeffrey, Why yi yi yi
--------------------------------------------
Not sure this would work as a chant or not. Leader does "Wheres Jeff/Theres Jeff" bits? Or forget the first verse and use the first two lines from v2 and repeat. Just ideas, could be amusing though.
Will go with the bouncy castle and nixie. But maybe a chant for aisle 12 rather than aisle 22

Don't forget the turtleneck long-sleeved home kits!
Jeffery's here
Jeffery's there
Jeffery's every-bloody-where
He's Jeffery Sarpong, the star/king/lord/something of the Nix.
He said to me
"Was that Thierry Henry?"
So I said to him
"It was James McGarry!"
James McGarry
James McGarry
James McGarry
James McGarry....

I saw my mate the other day
He said he'd seen the 'Kiwi Pele'
The Kiwi Pele! Who is he?
He goes by the name of James McGarry

A rip of the Wayne Rooney chant. By the way, also works for Vaughan Covney ;-)
We need chant ideas for Doyle/Ridenton/Rogerson. Fire away.
There's not much to say about Tom, Matt or Logan
Clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap

Always loved this Anderson chant.

Rogerson son son,
He’s better than Cleberson (or: He came here from Hamilton)
Rogerson son son,
He’s our youngster magician,
On the left, on the right,
He’ll be everywhere in sight,
He is fast, watch him pass,
AND HE COULD STILL BE/IS STILL IN CLASS!
I walked out, You left me
You know I'm hurting for you
It seems now that it's over
But there is nothing I can do
I don't know
Why does Phoenix do this to me
I don't know
I don't know
Ricki came, he went away
Now we've got Ernie and he's here to stay but
It seems I'm thinking of you
But I'm still thinking about myself

Good work.
I think: "Why do The Nix do this to me" works better.
And, after the last line, obviously, repeat the chorus:
I don't know

It's far too much of a rugby chant for me to want to go anywhere near it.
Really?
I have NEVER heard ANYONE chant that at the rugby.
I've heard it played over the loud speakers at the sevens, but you can say that about literally dozens of songs...

Yes, it's a massive rugby song.
This thread needs more Elton John
This thread needs more Elton John
It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
we don't have much money but boy if we did
I'd buy a big marquee which could score many goals!
If I was a coach, but then again, no
Or a man who makes decisions in a football show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you!
We should have used Rocket Man when we had Reddy. I reckon it could be used for Ridenton though.

Admittedly it was a token gesture to the "I don't want to sing other teams chants, lets do something kiwi". Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Put you down as a no shall I?

NEVER heard ANYONE chant anything at rugby......although maybe its a national thing cos Bread of Heaven, Land of our Fathers is always sung with gusto......
We need chant ideas for Doyle/Ridenton/Rogerson. Fire away.
We all love a bit of Doyle (Doyle!)
He has got Kiwi blood.

This thread needs more Elton John
And I think he's gonna a play a long, long, time
Both for the Phoenix and for the All Whites
Get him on the ball and watch him go
Ah, watch him go
Matthew Ridenton
Ridenton
Get him on the ball and watch him go

Has potential.
I can't get the two Rocketman lines to work in my head... maybe if I heard how you think they'd go Oska?
...would work well with Haillemariam though...
Actually would work really well for
Roy Krish-Naaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaahhhh
Roy Krishna
so, maybe...?
And I think he's gonna a play a long, long, time
Both for the Nix and also for Fiji
Giv'im the ball, his goals will get us home
Roy Krish-Naaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaahhhh
Roy Krishna
Burnin' over the pitch there alone

Does everybody know the Liverpool chant 'Kolo Kolo Kolo YAYA yaya yaya!'
instead we could do...
Jefferey jefferey jefferey ROLY ROLY ROLY! (while we are singing this we have to jump up and down)
hope you like it!
To Karma Chameleon:
Roly Roly Roly Roly Roly Bonevacia
He scores some goals, he scores some goooaaallls.
Winning is easy when his free kicks are like my dreams
The best there's been, the best there's beeeeen.
(or "he strikes so clean")

My nomination for the best new chant of the season. I reckon it would sound awesome. And no one else is using it in some form so unique to Wellington!!
I always thought that Roly Roly Bonevacia would work well with Glory Glory Hallelujah or something along those lines. Simple, easy. The last line could be 'We love to watch him score'
