Norwich City (UK) FC song is regarded as the oldest in the world, and is still sung today on the terraces. The chorus is:-
Kick it 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!
Very restrained and elegant! It was apparently first sung in the 1880's. I always smile when I hear tough lads singing "Hurrah! We've scored a goal!" In the Norwich accent it sounds like "a gool.."
