In 1881 in Hertfordshire
Some locals went and had an idea
They got a football team, and made the people keen
To see the club in Watford town.
For nearly eighty years and how
The crowds went weee, wooh and wow!
And then came Ken, and Stuart Scullion!
And glory came to Watford town…
CHORUS
Up up up to the Premier League
The Golden Boys are on their way
Harry, Slav and Lloyd, Ikechi, Craig and Troy
With love from Watford town...
In 1969 in Hertfordshire
Ken Furphy went and had a bold idea
He had a football team in league division three
Who brought success to Watford town
But Ken was told to get away
So a local lad arrived and then he say:
“I’ll take you to the top, we’ll stand until we drop!”
And Elton came to Watford town
CHORUS
V3
In 1983 in Hertfordshire
With Elton and his lovely hair
His dear old football club in league division one
The big boys came to Watford town
With Luther like an exocet
And Cally on the wing his crosses met
There was Kenny, Ross and Steve, and John Barnes had to leave...
...Because he got too big for Watford town!!!
CHORUS
(A mournful verse...)
In 1988 in Hertfordshire
Elton John was driven unto tears
He sold his football club, down from league division one
And hope deserted Watford town
The gaffers came and players went
The fans all suffered punishment
Furlong had to go, though Ramage had a go,
And hope came back to Watford town
CHORUS
In 1999 in Hertfordshire
The turnip to promotion did he steer
With strikers from Carlisle, and Gibbo still around
The Premier League for Watford town.
But everything became too much
Though Mooney was a hero for the Rous
But in the Rookery, the seats were left empty
So sad to be in Watford town.
(But...)
In 2006 in Hertfordshire
A Yankee centre-back gave us a cheer
The ball came off his head, and Ashley Young was fed
A supper fit for Watford town
With Big Ben in between the sticks, who
Had Malky at the back with Danny Shittu
Aidy had a crack, but then he got the sack
And poverty hit Watford Town
In 2012 in Hertfordshire
Mr Dyche was left out on his ear..Because...
The Pozzos’ lovely ship docked in the Championship
And Gianfranco came to Watford town
Troy became the number nine
And Ikechi, Almen, Matty, Fernando, Batocchio, Steve Leo Beleck, Fanchone, Acuna, Fabbrini, Guediora…And the rest!!..All find
Even though we lost to Palace, we betray no hint of malice….[pause]
We always believed it could be done
With Slavisa the football games are fun
And Elton stands and cries, and Graham Taylor sighs:
The Horns are pride of Watford town!!!!
CHORUS UNTIL YOU CANNOT SING ANY MORE!!!
