Yes but you need the 'is' after Taarabt to make it scan.

And "Smith Faurlin Buzsaky" is quite a mouthful though. Might be better off sticking with:

"Whoah whoah whoah
We got the best midfield in the woooorld
We got Faurlin and Mackie
Wayne, Derry, Buzsaky
And Taarabt is running the shooooow"

Or, if you really must include Smith its:

"Whoah whoah whoah
We got the best midfield in the woooorld
Smith, Faurlin, Buzsaky
Wayne, Derry and Mackie
And Taarabt is running the shooooow"

[qblockpete]

First selection is much better

[paulmason]

The added 'is' stops if flowing and I can really see people giving it large when it comes to "and tar-a-bat running the show" Best song ever penned on this website and will catch on very quickly with no one just clapping.

[qblockpete]

Agree, think "is" not needed as fans tend to sing songs quicker

(ie we are the rent boys)

[Jeff]

Still prefer "The star of Moroccooooooooooooo"

but looks like i'm on me own there...

[Dazzer1977]

FINAL VERSION... As I slip in and steal the thunder....

Whoah, whoah, wohah, we got the best midfield in the world,
We've got Smith, Faurlin & Makie,
Wayne, Derry, Buzsaky,
And Taarabt running the shooooowwoooo,

Repeat!

F**K Hogan, Cook, Vaagan Moen, Rose and Tofas! Jobs a good'en...

Trouble is 'tar-a-bat' gives it 3 syllables, which is fine if you want to mis-pronounce Taarabt.

If you want to sing his name correctly its 2 syllables, hence:

"And Taa-rabt is running the shooooow"

Like the 'is', 'we've got' is not needed either, as it gets in the way.

"Whoah whoah wohah we got the best midfield in the world,
Smith, Faurlin, Buzsaky
Wayne, Derry and Makie
And Taarabt running the show

Agree to disagree on this. "Smith, Faurlin, Buzsaky" is a mouthful IMO.

So far the version that rolls off the tongue best is the original one at the top of the thread + adding Wayne to the 4th line:

"Whoah whoah whoah
We got the best midfield in the woooorld
We got Faurlin and Mackie
Wayne, Derry, Buzsaky
And Taarabt* is running the shooooow"

* pronounced correctly i.e. 2 syllables

What has Tommy Smith done to upset you ?

[Morris]

Like the 'is', 'we've got' is not needed either, as it gets in the way.

"Whoah whoah wohah we got the best midfield in the world,
Smith, Faurlin, Buzsaky
Wayne, Derry and Makie
And Taarabt running the show
Repeat"

This is the best one IMO.

Nothing at all. Just sadly it doesnt roll off the tongue too easily, which is essential for a football chant to take off.

By all means change We got Faurlin and Mackie to Smith, Faurlin and Mackie, but just dont think it scans as well. Only my opinion of course.
