What to Sing!
"Nottingham, Nottingham... (repeat)"
____________
I oh, I oh we are the Forest boys
we are the best team in the land
which no one can deny
We all follow the Forest
Through the seasons before us
down through history
We will follow the Forest
unto victory
____________
Far have we travelled
and much have we seen
Goodison, Anfield are places we've been
Maine Road, Old Trafford still echo to the sounds
of the boys in the Red shirts from City Ground
City Ground,
oh mist rolling in from the Trent
my desire is always to be there
on City Ground
____________
We hate Derby and we hate Derby
We hate Derby and we hate Derby
we are the Derby haters
Sheep, sheep, sheepshaggers
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
____________
When Ian Bowyer scores a goal
you can shove your Hector up your 'ole
and we'll all go wild when Derby go down again
when Derby go down again, again, we'll sing, we'll sing
____________
I'd rather be a muppet than a scouse.
____________
Sign on, sign on
with a pen in your hand
and you'll never work again
you'll never work again
____________
You're going down with the Leicester
You're going down to play the Derby
going down, going down
____________
Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus
Woke up and he said:
...We hate Derby and We hate Derby !!!
____________
"Where's your Caravan.... where's your caravan"
____________
We all agree Nottingham Forest are magic,
are magic, are magic!

Chorus
We've got the whole world in our hands
We've got the whole wide world in our hands
We've got the whole world in our hands
We've got the whole world in our hands.
...
We've got the best team in the land
We've got the best damn team in the land
We've got the beat team in the land
We've got the beat team in the land.
...
There's Tony and Robbo and Martin O'Neil
There's Spider and Needham they'll never yield
There's Archie the Gemmill all over the field
We've got the best team in the land.
...
There's Colin and Withe(y) and Larry Lloyd too
McGovern and Burns(y) their pushing them through
And Peter the keeper with nothing to do
We've got the best team in the land.
...
Peter Taylor and Ian and Johnny O'Hare
Jimmy the trainer he's taking good care
Know one can stop us they wouldn't dare
We've got the best team in the land
...
We've got the best team in the land
We've got the best damn team etc, etc.
"Yarwood, follow that!" (Spoken by Brian Clough)
____________
In your Liverpool slums
In your Liverpool slums
You rake in the dustbin for something to eat
You find a dead rat and you think its a treat
In your Liverpool slums
____________
You are my forest, my only forest
you make me happy
when skies are grey
you'll never know now, how much I love you
please don't take my forest away.
____________
You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips.
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips.
You're trying hard not to show it, (baby).
But baby, baby I know it..
...
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...wooooooh.
...
Now there's no welcome look in your eyes when I reach for you.
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do.
...
It makes me just feel like crying, (baby).
'Cause baby, something in you is dying.
...
You lost that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling,
You've lost that lovin' feeling,
Now it's gone...gone...gone...woooooah
...
Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you.
If you would only love me like you used to do, yeah.
We had a love...a love...a love you don't find everyday.
So don't...don't...don't...don't let it slip away.
...
Baby (baby), baby (baby),
I beg of you please...please,
I need your love (4x)
So bring it on back (4x)
...
Bring back that lovin' feeling, Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...gone,
and I can't go on,
noooo...
...
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
Whoa, that lovin' feeling
Bring back that lovin' feeling,
'Cause it's gone...gone...
