This song, to the tune of The Beatles Yellow Submarine, was first heard at the Lyon game and has only fallen out of use it.
The song was refreed to in the house of Lords when then Foreign Secretary and Rovers fan Jack Straw was criticized for saying in a radio interview "We say Burnley fans eat bananas with their feet, but I would not say that at all - that would be offensive to great apes" [1]
In a town, where I was born
I met a man, who'd sailed the sea
And he told me of his life
In a town called Burn-a-lee
Burnley fans eat bananas with their feet
bananas with their feet
bananas with their feet
Burnley fans eat bananas with their feet
bananas with their feet
bananas with their feet
In recent seasons a small number of fans have been heard to be singing a varient with "eat bananas with their feet" replaced with "shag their sisters in the bath", however this has never had close to the popularity of the original.
Also, this alterntive to the first verse has been heard.
Near the town where I was born
Is a man who fails to see
That he leads a pile of shite
And they call them Burnerleeee
