What Do The Brighton Fans Sing?

Good old Sussex by the sea,
Good old Sussex by the sea,
Cos were going up to lift the cup for Sussex by the sea.

I believe that is Norman Wisdom's original

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

'fraid not. Wisdom's words were totally dire. For example, the last four lines of each verse were:-


So shout you fans and make them score (GOAL)
Clap your hands until they're sore
Coz we're going up and we'll win the Cup
For Albion by the Shore

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Oh my goodness, goodness me.

 

[Kent Seagull]

Proper words.

"we're going up and we'll win the Cup"

I really get pissed of with people singing the "going up to win the cup " version. f***ing newbies!

 

[Brovion]

Well said Kent Seagull!!

Hove Born and Bred - I'm amazed that someone actually born in Hove didn't know Norman Wisdom's words! Disgraceful! Your citizenship is hereby revoked. (Although it could be re-instated if you claim immunity under the "they were so crap I'd blanked them from my mind" defence)

Thank gawd does that mean I can stop paying my outrageous
council tax bills.

Now is the time for marching,
Now let your hearts be gay,
Hark to the merry bugles
Sounding along our way.
So let your voices ring my boys,
And take the time from me,
And I'll sing you a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea! For

(chorus)
We're the men from Sussex, Sussex by the Sea.
We plough and sow and reap and mow,
And useful men are we;
And when you go to Sussex,
Whoever you may be,
You may tell them all that we stand or fall
For Sussex by the Sea !
Oh Sussex, Sussex by the Sea !
Good old Sussex by the Sea !
You may tell them all that we stand or fall,
For Sussex by the Sea

Up in the morning early,
Start at the break of day;
March till the evening shadows
Tell us it's time to stay.
We're always moving on my boys,
So take the time from me,
And sing this song as we march along,
Of Sussex by theSea. For . .
(chorus)

Sometimes your feet are weary,
Sometimes the way is long,
Sometimes the day is dreary,
Sometimes the world goes wrong;
But if you let your voices ring,
Your care will fly away,
So we'll sing a song as we march along,
Of Sussex by the Sea. For . . .
(chorus)

Light is the love of a soldier,
That's what the ladies say,
Lightly he goes a wooing,
Lightly he rides away.
In love and war we always are
As fair as fair can be,
And a soldier boy is a lady's joy
In Sussex by the Sea. For . . .
(chorus)

Far o'er the seas we wander,
Wide thro' the world we roam;
Far from the kind hearts yonder,
Far from our dear old home;
But ne'er shall we forget my boys,
And true we'll ever be
To the girls so kind that we left behind
In Sussex by the Sea
