CLUB SONG  On the ball, City
On the Ball, City has claims to be the oldest football club song still in regular use.
It is almost as old as the Canaries themselves – and certainly older than that particular nickname.
It has rung around the San Siro and Munich’s Olympic stadium as well as Wembley.
But it was first heard around the touchlines of City’s first home in Newmarket Road having been adopted soon after the club turned professional in 1905 just three years after they came into existence.

The words are as follows
On the days to call, which we have left behind,
Our boyhood’s glorious game,
And our youthful vigour has declined
With its mirth and its lonesome end;
You will think of the time, the happy time,
Its memories fond recall
When in the bloom of your youthful prime
We’ve kept upon the ball

Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.

Let all tonight then drink with me
To the football game we love,
And wish it may successful be
As other games of old,
And in one grand united toast
Join player, game and song
And fondly pledge your pride and toast
Success to the City club.

Kick off, throw it in, have a little scrimmage,
Keep it low, a splendid rush, bravo, win or die;
On the ball, City, never mind the danger,
Steady on, now’s your chance,
Hurrah! We’ve scored a goal.
