Bill Beare - Ee 'Eck Lyrics

Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, the' talk a load a shite where ye come from
The' mek a load o' noise but the' don't tek us on
What's the waitin' for pal? Thumb up bum?
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum. Get th'sel' together lad, c'mon!

Been givin' a bit o' lip from way over there
Been givin' a bit o' stick but do we care?
There's owt the likes o' you can say 'll gi' us any doubt we'll 'ave us day today
'Eck as like you'll have your way, today

We tek on all-comers and we wear our colours proud
Descendants o' the gods, we sing our songs loud
Don't give in, don't give up, don't stop
'Cos y' know, yeah w' know we're comin' out on top
An' y' wanna tek the piss? Well, 'ave a bit o' this

Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, the' talk a load a shite where ye come from
The' mek a lot o' noise but the' don't tek us on
What's the matter son? Thumb up bum?
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum. Get th'sel' together lad, c'mon!

Take it as a warning 'cos the line y' crossin' over
Is the one that you'll regret so get back under cover
And you wanna shut y' moanin' 'cos you're gonna come a cropper
And y' wouldn't wanna bet that the' not gonna get fucked up. Aye lad!
Time and time I've been telling you about
Be careful what y' shout and what y' yellin' out
'Cos y' know y'self what some 'ere are like
And you don't wanna get y'self in trouble like
So be careful, just be careful. Especially with us
'Cos it's painful, yes, it's painful when y've been 'it by a bus

Hear us singin'
We're the leaders winnin'
We 'as gorrit, and y' gone!
Hear us, y' know y' nowhere near us
Y' know you'll never beat us
We're solid. Number one!

It's the history of it, bein' me an' you and them's no longer here
And year after year after flamin' year we shout an' stand us ground
An' gi' as good as we get - and never fret
An' we see it as part of a fabric thing, and we cheer and jeer and chant and sing
And bein' part of the magic brings us here even in the freezin' cold and soakin' wet - with No regret!
Aye, it's a ritual that we can't deny from t' thermos tea to 'ot meat pie
Side b' side wit' family elect
Week after week after bloody week we rant the banter and fling critique
An' all the love and the passion we gi' and get
'Cos We're all here to lift our team, lift the trophy, live the dream
Stand in t' stands sing Ee by gum, by 'eck

Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, the' talk a load a shite where you come from
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, the' mek a lot o' noise but the' don't tek us on
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, What's the waitin' for pal? Thumb up bum?
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum. Get th'sel' together lad, c'mon!
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, Solid. Number one
Ee 'eck, Ee by gum, Ee Eck, c'mon!
