"Those were the days" chant/song

this is for the older ones amongst us. Just been listening to Radio Wales and they played "Those where the days" by Mary Hopkin. Does anyone remember this being one of our most popular songs in the Toshack/Clarke era? Don't know if other clubs sang it or we sang it because she was Welsh (Jacks may have sang it but they were an irrelavence in those day) but it was a real memory jerker listening to it. I was only a very young boy but I remember the wooden terracing at the back of the Grange End used to reverberate as everyone bounced up and down signing the chorus. And no drum to help us along either!

Those were the days.

my opinion is that the version we sang about taking ends belongs in that era...
Wolves have a version of it with kots of words {not our strong point }
i do think there are 1 or 2 songs that could be reworded though

Ah the old days...

Its along way, to Cardiff General..

Youll never make the station..

Youre gonna get your f*****n heads kicked in',

Youre goin home in a f****n ambulance..

See him standing on the corner...

We are Evil...

There appears to be a bit of a theme developing here.


One a little more innocent...

When I was young my father said
'Son I have something to say'
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dying days
He said son you are a CIty fan
And that's the way to stay
Son you'll be City fan
Until your dying days
