Football chants from around the world

I remember there was something of a stooshie in Fife a few years ago when they featured a football chant on “They Think It’s All Over” which was somewhat disparaging of Cowdenbeath folk:

The offending lyric, to the tune of the Addams Family, was:

They come from near Lochgelly,
they’re dirty and they’re smelly,
they huvnae got a telly,
the Cowden Family
