"We're in claret , we're in blue , we're going to kick flip out of you , Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah.
Edited.
Much more respectful times down the turf now thankfully.

Bob Lord's a butcher,
He wears a butchers hat,
When he wears it back to front,
He looks a proper 2hat !
To the tune of "My Old Man's A Dustman"

I always liked this one Hazzy. My memory is slightly different. Not sure why we sang about Sunderland, other than it's three syllables.
Bring on Sunderland and Arsenal, bring on Scousers by the score.
Barcelona, Real Madrid, they all made a gallant bid
BUT BURNLEY ARE THE TEAM WE ALL ADORE!

And playing Blackpool on the Turf mid 60s to the tune of Yellow Submarine - 'We all pi$$ in a tangerine pot..'

"If you're proud to be a Claret" is less often sung/chanted these days, surprisingly, because it would always remain current. As would "1-0 to the Burnalee" but that one's probably fallen out of favour due to its high 'naff rating'.

Just because you got the odd clip round the ear by the local plod they were a bit naughty?

Truncheon rash was a couple of notches up the scale from the odd clip.
