To the tune of Simon and Garfunkle's Mrs Robinson
And here's to you Asmir Begovic
Stokies love you more than you can know
Woh, woh, woh.....................
Don't know how far into the song we go but the next bit of the original first verse is
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, Hey, Hey
I've always thought that the original would be a great song as an anthem - a very catchy and memorable tune and (thankfully) very easy to sing with no bum notes. If someone could work on words for a few more verses it could become a classic

What was being sung block 23/24 of the Boothen on Saturday?
I couldn't quite make it out - but it wasn't the Mrs Robinson one - and was only sung after Bego had been involved on the pitch. It had a 'continental' sound to it.

Second verse suggestion:
And in our hearts Asmir Begovic
There's a special place for you to go
woh woh woh. woh.
Then repeat simples

Tell you what would make a great footy song if someone could come up with new words - The Boxer, by Paul Simon
I am just a poor boy.
Though my story's seldom told,
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles,
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest.
Lie-la lie etc. .............................looks naff but is a stunning chorus
When I left my home
And my family,
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station,
Running scared,
Laying low,
Seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go,
Looking for the places
Only they would know.
Lie-la-lie...
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job,
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores
On Seventh Avenue
I do declare,
There were times when I was so
lonesome
I took some comfort there.
Lie-la-lie...

He's a little bit funny this keeper we signed
He's not one of those who can easily hide
He didn't cost much money but boy if he had
He'd still be the best keeper that money could buy
If we were in Europe, but then again, no
Or if we signed Lionel Messi, Zlatan and Ronaldo
I know it's not much but it's the best we can do
Our gift is this song and Bego this one's for you
And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that we sing out in words
How wonderful Stoke are when you're in our goal
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that we sing out in words
How wonderful Stoke are when you're in our goal
You're welcome.

Lie-la-lie... One of my favourite ever songs, would be brilliant if we had a chant to this. Simion and Garfunkel must have loads of songs convertible to chants, unfortunately I'm pretty wank at such things. |

we're not trying to create a new song for him It's caught on now. There's no chance of changing the first verse really. Here's an attempt at the first AND second verse. Here's to you, Asmir Begovic. City loves you more than you will know. Woaahhhh The only one, Asmir Begovic. stokies dream about you every day. hey hey hey (Repeat) |

Why all these suggestions for different song and extra verses?
Anyone's who witnessed it at Norwich will tell you it sounded great as it is. Just need to try and get it to catch on at home games now, WITHOUT speeding it up.

Excuse me, I came up with a play on "Your Song" just from the title. If you can't bring yourself to swallow a sumptuous Elton John 12-inch well, shame on you is all I can say. |

Nice and simple one, but not as simple as our usual stuff...
Asmir Begovic tra la la la la
Asmir Begovic tra la la la la la
Asmir Begovic tra la la la la
He's the best number one in the land.
Last line could do with a bit of re-wording perhaps.

An old fashioned piece of find and replace...
"Asmir Begovic"
And here's to you, Asmir Begovic,
Stokies loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Asmir Begovic.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home.
And here's to you, Asmir Begovic,
Stokies loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Asmir Begovic.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hide it in the hiding place where no one ever goes.
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes.
It's a little secret just the Robinson's affair.
Most of all you've got to hide it from the kids.
Koo-koo-ka-choo, Asmir Begovic,
Stokies loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please, Asmir Begovic.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon.
Going to the candidates' debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to choose
Every way you look at this you lose.
Where have you gone, Joe DiMaggio,
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
What's that you say, Asmir Begovic.
Jolting Joe has left and gone away,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

People come up with fantastic songs on here all the time, but it's difficult to make them catch on at the game. If it has more than 8 words and doesn't involve clapping, you're going to have a tough job getting one to stick. |
