Does anybody know the words to the Lambert song?


Recommended Posts

He stands at nearly 6ft3

Rickie, Rickie,

He'll take us to the Premier League

Rickie, Rickie

He gets the ball; he takes the ****

He wears the shirt of Matt Le Tis

Rickie Lambert

Southampton's Goal Machine

 

(claim no credit for the words though I think its a good song :-))

It's the "something like that's" that are the problem.

The song is factually incorrect anyway, according to the player profles on the official site his is only 6ft 2. As usual a shocking lack of attention to detail.

Also agreed it needs to slow down a bit.

That version is wrong - the "proper" version is "he stands at NEARLY 6ft 3" anyway.

 

Just as the planks singing "Over 6ft 3" and the people who think he'll "fire" us to the Premier League are all boners too.

 

And don't get me (re-)started on the lack of pause in the second line of the Jose Fonte song either.

Hence why it should be 'he stands at nearly 6 foot 3'

Well this is the problem and probably why everyone seems to want to sing the songs at over 1,000 miles an hour without pausing for breath, no one knows the bloody words. How does 'oh when the saints go marching in' go again???

Does anybody know the words to the Lambert song?.....

 

.....cos no one around me in the Itchen did.

 

On another note if the Southend fans take the **** out of themselves by singing "that's why we're going down.." you look a bit of a tool by joining in with vitriol. IMO of course.

 

Was impressed by the southend fans again. Not only "that's why we're going down" but also "ce sera, we're going to shrewsbury" and "one team in Essex " after our "one team in Hampshire" -- and over 1000 of them from a small club, miles away.

 

Some even stayed to watch our lap of honour in spite of being warned they might then be kept in.

 

Good luck to them.

 

k.

I dont like the "wears the shirt of matt le Tiss line." For me that makes it sound like no other ones fit him so he had to wear matts.

 

I think it should be

 

He gets the ball he takes the ****

He scores great goals like Matt le Tiss

 

or something like that

Do you know what number Le Tissier wore?

 

Do you know what number Lambert wears?

 

Exactly.

 

It really annoys me that people only sing the la la la bit instead of the other verse, as this is one of the best songs we've had in years, nearly every other one of our songs are ****e.

Ah - but does Rickie really score GREAT goals? "Unbelievable" (as in the DVD) goals? No - but he does score a lot of them.

 

So its quantity compared to quality; which is a complicated concept to deliver in a football song.

 

So prob best just to stick to the fact that the old No 7 has now been replaced by our new No 7......they both wear the same shirt.

 

Innit?

Most saints fans at home are **** @ singing.

 

Can't sing the rickie song

 

can't even sing owts properly (really sad)

 

oh well at least they can bang the back boards in time....oh wait

 

I agree, our support is so bad it verges on embarrassing, there needs to be a collective outing for the northam stand to somewhere like white hart lane to see how it is done. The super fast singing and obsession with clapping along at extreme speeds is not how football songs are supposed to be. We have far to many soft student types and women in the Northam = no concept of terrace culture.

Look at all the best / vocal fans, proper anthems, no mong like clapping.

Compared to the crock of sh*t usually served up by our fans via the medium of song, yes it is half decent. But to copy a song that man u had first (o'shea) and then Liverpoo for Torres makes me wonder what ever happened to having a bit of originality...

 

Don't get me started on the Lee Barnard one either.

I noticed at the end of the game, during the lap of honour, when there was two decent verses of OWTSGMI, there were still people trying to clap along to speed it up. They need to learn to sit on their hands or put them in their pockets.

 

I have no problem with clapping appropriately. The normal speed OWTS (at the Dell) used to be accompanied by stamping on the upper west/east stand wooden floor boards. People need to remember it is a MARCH, the clue is in the title! Try marching to the 1000 RPM version sung now, It would be more like a Benny Hill sequence.

I heard some fans singing a second verse to the Rickie Lambert song at Yeovil away a few weeks ago.

 

Has anyone got any idea what the words are to that...?

 

I heard something in there about "He scored the goal at Wembley....."

 

 

He scored a goal at Wemberley

Rickie Rickie

He's scored more goals that wayne Rooney

Rickie Rickie

He scored a goal against the Skates

And that's why he is my best mate

Rickie Lambert Southampton's goal machine.

 

 

No?

A nail on head moment. Look at the Kop, Anfield, White Hart Lane, etc, you never see any women or clowns in face paints, its all proper lads who know what the crack is.

That Barnard one is truly shocking, as is the majority of what Saints fans come out with.

If the away fans are moved up the other end then i hope all the little chavs clear off up there with them. They can carry on spending 90mins not watching the game and singing at a 100mph for every song.

 

A good slow rendition of OWTS or the full Ricky Lambert song sounds a million times better than that stupid pompey fan on a string garbage.

As opposed to the Lambert song, which is correct in height, name, player's ball getting and p155-taking ability, shirt number, club affiliation and goal machine tendencies, and only a bit dubious about his potential ability to take us to the Premier League...

 

... the Lee Barnard song is incorrect about his stature, pugilistic tendencies, and comparable ability to a player who is two leagues above and plays a completely different position. In "short", it is "fcking hard" to see how either the player or his song is "better than Frank Lampard".

 

Wasted opportunity that one, he could easily "hit the ball fcking hard" and "be better than..." I dunno... "Pericard"...

 

All we are saying... is give us the truth... :D

Same here but there were more than one or two who embarrassed themselves

 

there was a couple of them down the front who i think tried to get to barnard during the appreciation lap. one was fat and wearing a wifebeater, the other one looked about 60 and was offering people out upstairs in the alfred pre-match. that may have had something to do with some unsavioury reactions toward them at the end

stop moaning and start some new songs yourselves! its not hard, all you need is a catchy tune and about 6/7 of you to sing it repeatedly until people start to understand the words

 

Part of the point of this thread is that Saints fans can't sing the decent songs we already have properly, they get ruined by morons.

I absolutely love the slow version, actually makes my voice go crokey when I try to join in as well as bringing a tear to my eyes. I am a natural sad old git.

Away games are usually better for the slow version.

No?

 

That could well be what I heard.

 

Not sure about the "and that's why he is my best mate". As there's not much joining in with the second verse as yet [some people can't even be bothered to sing the first one!] can I suggest "and that is why he's f00king great" instead. Me thinks that would make more sense, although fair play to whoever made up a second verse in the first place.

Unfortunately its also the sort of thing that just means you end up with loads of people singing different bits at the same time, which just leads to people stopping singing altogether. That and a mental bloke getting carried away near you...

 

..why is there always one of them in the row in front of me slightly to the right ? It's like, 4 years in a row now, and two different blokes !

Originality? What do we need flipping songwriters at every game?
