Bill Shankly's last signing for Liverpool was Ray Kennedy from Arsenal.
Cue -
I heard Bertie Mee say to Bill Shankly
Do you want this reject Kennedy
Shankly said I'm going anyhow
so I might as well waste 2 hundred thou.

Another Kopite song from the 60s...


If you're tired and you're weary,And your heart skips a beat,
You'll get your 'kin head kicked in,If you walk down Heyworth Street,
If you come to The Albert,You'll hear our famous noise,
Get out you Everton b**tards,We're the Billy Shankly Boys…
We're the boys from The Kop,We're loyal and we're true,
And when we play the Everton,We're ready for a do,
With a cry of '"NO SURRENDER'",You'll hear our famous noise,
Get out you Everton b**tards,We're the Billy Shankly Boys…

Lovely sentiments...

...I cant think how they went on to slaughter other supporters the following decade.

Old Everton songs from Toffeeweb:


The Ballad Of Davey Hickson​

"I've been supporting Everton now for fifty years (first game: Everton v Chelsea, 5 Feb 1955). I remember my mate, Harry Owens, bringing into the playground at Rathbone a version of The Ballad of Davy Crockett. Apart from the factual inaccuracy, Dave Hickson was born in Salford, but moved to Ellesmere Port as a three year old, it's rather a good song. I wonder if any other older Evertonians, remember this. Or was it just a product of Harry and his dad's private imagination ? — ToffeeWeb reader, Rick Tarleton"
Born in the grasslands of Ellesmere Port,
Football was his favourite sport,
Signed on for Everton at seventeen
And he's the best since the great Dixie Dean,
Davie, Davie Hickson,
King of Goodison Park.



Blue And White Submarine​

Number One is Gordon West
Number Two is Tommy Wright
Number Three is Ray Wilson
Number Four is Howard Kendall
Number Five is Brian Labone
Number Six is Colin Harvey
Number Seven is Alex Young
Number Eight is Alan Ball
Number Nine is Joey Royle
Number Ten is Johnny Hurst
Number Eleven is Morrissey
Number Twelve is Sandy Brown ...
We all live in a blue-and-white submarine
A blue-and-white submarine,
A blue-and-white submarine.

We all live in a blue-and-white submarine
A blue-and-white submarine,
A blue-and-white submarine.


Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton, Ev-er-ton​

A special contribution from Harold Somers

"One of the funniest Everton-related television moments was Alas Smith and Jones doing a skit just before the 1986 Cup Final where talking face-to-face about the "great songs the fans sing", for example ... and you've gotta sing this to appreciate it!"
(To the tune of Hurray for the Red White and Blue, a.k.a. Here We Go):

Everton, Everton, Everton (knowing nods as they're getting into the groove)
Everton, Everton, Everto-on (pause while they screw up their faces trying to remember the next line...)
Ah yes... Everton, Everton, Everton (Long pause, then, triumphantly...)
Everto-on, E-VER-TON

Reprise:

Everton, Everton, Everton
Everton, Everton, Everto-on
Ah yes... Everton, Everton, Everton
Everto-on, E-VER-TON



It's A Long Way To Wembley Stadium​

(to the tune of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary")

It's a long way to Wembley Stadium
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Wembley Stadium
For the greatest team I know
Goodbye Upper Parly
Farewell Clayton Square
It's a long long way to Wembley Stadium
But Everton will be there


The Mighty Everton​

(to the tune of Mighty Quinn, a late sixties hit for Herman's Hermits)

Come on without,
Come on within,
You ain't seen nothing like the mighty Everton !

Onward Evertonians​

Onward Evertonians
Onward for to see
See the Royal twin towers
And Royal Wem-ber-ley
See the Royal Blue jerseys
As faithful as can be
Forging on to victory
And fighting con-stant-ly

Onward Evertonians,
Don't let your pride be moved:
Remember our song for Wem-ber-ley
Is: We Shall Not Be Moved.


Show them the way to go home​

Show them the way to go home
They're tired and they don't know what to do
'Cause they're only half a football team
Compared to the Boys in Blue.


St John's Body​

(to the tune of John Brown's Body)

St John's body lies a molding in the grave,
St John's body lies a molding in the grave,
St John's body lies a molding in the grave,
and Alex Young goes marching on.


We are the Scousers​

We are the Scousers
The cock of the north
We all hate United
And City of course
We only drink whiskey
And bottles of Brown
The Everton Boys are in town


We Hate Nottingham Forest​

(to the tune of Land of Hope and Glory)
We hate Nottingham Forest
We hate Liverpool too
We hate City and United
But Everton we love you.


We'll Be Running Round Wembley With the Cup​

We’ll be running round Wembley with the Cup
We’ll be running round Wembley with the Cup
We’ll be running round Wembley
Running round Wembley
Running round Wembley with the Cup
Singing aye aye, yippie yippie aye
Singing aye aye, yippie yippie aye
Singing aye aye, yippie aye aye, yippie
Aye aye, yippie yippie aye


When You're Smiling​

(an old standard, originally by Dean Martin)

Oh when you're smiling,
When you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you

And when your laughing,
when you're laughing,
The sun comes shining through.

But when you're crying, you'll bring on the rain
So stop your crying, be happy again

Coz when you're smiling,
When you're smiling,
The whole world smiles with you...

... without yer kecks on!

I was looking into songs that used to be sung or were associated with the club in past years, and stumbled onto two songs that were commercially released following the championship year of 1962-63, with the players singing backing vocals. The lead vocal was by a Scottish baritone named John Dunbar, and it was released by Thistle Records of Scotland, who first produced a song for Rangers, and then Manchester Uniter, Everton, and Celtic.

These two songs were commissioned by the club to be played at Goodison and to encourage singing among supporters, and made there debut over the loudspeakers on October 3, 1964. I was surprised that these songs weren't better known, and thought that the choruses could make a comeback among supports.

A. E-V-E-R-T-O-N


B. Everton for Me


The odd thing is that there's very little information on the songs online, and the lyrics don't appear anywhere, so I've transcribed them as best I could I think I've done a pretty good job, despite the audio quality issues on the available recordings. The one big question mark for me is a line that sounds like, "They come from Park or Huyton." Huyton sounds right, but I don't know what comes before (I think it actually sounds like "par cord").

The songs are also available in various places, like Spotify:


Here are the lyrics, awaiting thoughts and corrections:

E-V-E-R-T-O-N​

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
In case you didn’t catch it,
then let’s spell it out again:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
They’re the finest team in all the land:
the gallant Everton!

They come from Garston, Walton —
they come from Dingle too.
They come from [Park or Huyton?]
to cheer the boys in blue.

They come from Bootle, Prescot
and all of Merseyside.
They trample up to Goodison Park
and loudly to sing with pride:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
In case you didn’t catch it,
then let’s spell it out again:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
They’re the finest team in all the land:
the gallant Everton!

They come from Garston, Walton,
they come from Dingle too
They come from [Park or Huyton?]
To cheer the boys in blue.

They come from Bootle, Prescot
and all of Merseyside
They trample up to Goodison Park
and loudly to sing with pride:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
In case you didn’t catch it,
then let’s spell it out again:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
They’re the finest team in all the land:
the gallant Everton!

There’s Rankin, Parnell, Parker,
Harris, Gabriel and Labone.
There’s Kay and Scott and Stevens.
They’re the pride of Everton.

Young Pickering, Vernon, Temple,
on the victory trail for sure,
for 70,000 Everton fans
that roar, and roar and roar.

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
In case you didn’t catch it,
then let’s spell it out again:

Oh yeah, it’s E-V-E-R-T
and O and N!
They’re the finest team in all the land:
the gallant Everton!

They’re the finest team in all the land:
the gallant Everton!


Everton for Me​

Hail hail, the club’s a-calling!
Loud cheers are proudly falling,
down from the classic slopes,
they sing loud and clear.

Sweetly the voices rally,
down down the green plat valley,
there to this chorus rally:
“Everton for me.”

Proudly we bear the name,
proudly we play the game.
Long may the blue banners
gloriously fly!

That’s where my heart is ever.
There lies my best endeavor.
Everton: it is forever,
Everton for me.

Proudly we bear the name,
proudly we play the game.
Long may the blue banners
gloriously fly!

That’s where my heart is ever.
There lies my best endeavor.
Everton: it is forever,
Everton for me.

Great are the rows that greet us,
great are the foes that meet us.
Few are the teams that beat us,
this you’ll agree.

Thousands they still cheer for us,
thousands they still adore us,
thousands they sing this chorus:
“Everton for me!”

Proudly we bear the name,
proudly we play the game.
Long may the blue banners
gloriously fly!

That’s where my heart is ever.
There lies my best endeavor.
Everton: it is forever,
Everton for me.

Everton: it is forever,
Everton for me!

Sure I have that top one somewhere in my vinyl collection in the loft

Hit him on the head
Hit him on the head
Hit him on the head with a baseball bat...
Then..
Kick him in the teeth
Kick him in the teeth
Kick him in the teeth with your plates of meat..
 
Remember many moons ago in the street end..
A couple of coppers walking round the middle of the street end ,around half time ,when the boot walk song began...dishevelled, not the word.
