Steve Watts Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 when we sing it at city, ive always thought that we should sing it:A a bit slower so that we don't skip past the music, and also it gives opposition fans a chance to udnerstand what we are saying B to the right words. knock the milk churns over, roll em in the clover, corns half cut and so be me; instead of singing about rovers. songs in football that have nothing to do with football (walk alone, bubbles etc) are always better i think.Not to be toooooo picky, but if you wanna sing it to the correct words, then it's.... We'll knock the milk churns over, and roll 'em in the clover, for the corn's half cut and so be we....Only minor, so apologies for being pedantic!!!
