We're here to tell the story of how we are bound for Lords
We are entering the Village Cup - please join us in these chords
We are sure to make the final if we get our just rewards
As our team goes marching on

REFRAIN
Glory, glory, good old Ambridge
Glory, glory, good old Ambridge
Glory, glory, good old Ambridge
As our team goes marching on

Recall the time not far back when the team was a disgrace
Even playing Eddie Grundy when he cared to show his face
And if your name was Archer you were guaranteed a place
Till we said "It can't go on"

So we did some shrewd recruiting from the villages around
We have plundered Kev from Darrington whose pace is quite renowned
In the hope of Fallon's favours he's defected to our ground
Now our team goes marching on

We've the talented Chris Carter, holder of the Hebden Shield
The Sausage King, Tom Archer, lets his prowess be revealed
We've got handsome Adam Macy, though his strops are ill-concealed
And our team goes marching on

We've the wiliest of captains and his name it is Al Lloyd
For when it comes to mind-games he believes that he is Freud
But not a word of poker or else he will get annoyed
As his team goes marching on

We have dropped the geriatrics now apart from Robert Snell
He is too old for the IT world but still he serves us well
With his cover drives and leg glides he can face the fastest spell
As our team goes marching on

And finally our manager, the publican Sid Perks,
He is famous through all Ambridge for his homophobic quirks
He has got a plan for every game - I fear it seldom works
But his team keeps marching on

We've the most refined supporters with the likes of Fagash Lil
There is Carly, Shugs and Brenda with her whiff of Gourmet Grill
And as for her from Brookfield well our ears are ringing still
From when she cheered Ambridge on

We have played for many weeks now and not had a single loss
We won with ease at Edgeley, those from Waterley got cross
And as for ruddy Darrington we do not give a toss
For our team goes marching on

More parodies - from Agatha Christie to Damon Runyon
