A bit of nostalgia

[Bedford Red]

Just sorting out some old programmes and in one from the home match against Brighton and Hove Albion in September 1962 (which we won 5-1 with an Ernie Hunt hat trick), they have put the words to the song judged most suitable for the team.

Apparantly it's sung to the tune of "Here's to the Good old whisky, mop it down"!!

Here's the good old robins, that's the town, that's the town
Full of tradition and renown, and renown
Here's the good old robin, a-weavin and a-bobbin
Here's the good old robins, that's the town, that's the town.

Anybody old enough to remember that being sung in the 60's?

 I'm old enough, but don't think it took off....it was about this time that many values of the post war years of austerity were wiped away by the swinging 60's.

I guessed that might be the case; a few years earlier and it might have done i suppose when it was more innocent times (or supposed to be anyway).

I think I remember someone on here mentioning a wurzels song being sung against Chelsea that confused the fuck out of them. How did that go?
