Raunds Amateurs FC was a friendly young mens football club established by local lads in Raunds, Northamptonshire in the 1950`s.

The following version, sung to Bobbing up and Down like this was put together by them (and sung by mates of Howard White at his funeral recently) It proved to be a great after match song choice celebration.

Raunds Amateurs,all local boys
Sharing all our troubles, sharing all our joys.
If we win or lose my lads, we`ll always play the game,
And we`ll make them dance when they come to Rance,
for we`re proud of the old Town name.

nb. Rance is an old variation of the current name of Raunds and is also remembered in a ditty taught my wife, to Sheila Richardson in the late 1930`s by her father George Richardson.

Rance, Rance, where the puppy dugs dance,
and the little piggies run,
with their fingers up their bum
To see what is the matter.
