Song for McGree

[Mfcmoose]

Tune = Waltzing Matilda
Riley McGree Riley McGree we’ve got super Riley McGree
And when he shoots and he scores, you’ll hear all the Boro roar,
We’ve got super Riley McGree

 

[Diego]

God loves a trier

 

[Mfcmoose]

We’ll if at first you don’t succeed

 

[johnsmithsno2]

Great tune but too downbeat to work for a footy song, and Mcgree-ee doesn't scan well.

 

[Caesium137]

Top of my head but 'come on Riley', rather than 'come on Eileen'?

 

[StanleySmith]

Top of my head but 'come on Riley', rather than 'come on Eileen'?

Do we include ‘pretty red dress’

 

[Nottyboy]

I think it's pretty good. I would drop a couple of words from line 3 to make it easier to sing i.e. 'And when he shoots and scores, you'll hear the Boro roar'.

What about …

I dont like Riley, I love him (repeat)

To the tune of I don’t like cricket with various “dur dur” and “da da” of the tune to accompany

 

[jeff_potato]

We need to lean into a stereotype and push the syllables of Riley McGree into Locomotion by Kylie Minogue.

 

[Sãu Paulo]

He comes from a land down under
Riley mcgree the boy wonder
Can you hear, can you hear the thunder
You better run
You better take cover

Tune- men at work, down under

 

[RavsFan]

I really don’t care what everyone says about the opening poster…….
























Nope, that covers it.

 

[mitch_at_merseyside]

(To the tune a Land Down Under)

In the pub before kick off
Said to a mate, match will be tough
He laughed shaking his head and said, i disagree
He took me to one side, said heard of
McGree?

Does he come from a land down under?
The same place as Mark Schwarzer?
Did you know, did you know he's unreal?
He can score, from a header to a back heel

Final whistle blows, the game is won,
Cheers for Riley, second to none,
From the pub to the stands, we're full of glee,
For our Boro lad, the mighty McGree

He’s the lad from the land Down Under,
Making waves, a real wonder,
Can you feel, can you feel the vibe?
Riley McGree, the mighty Boro tribe!

 

[TeaCider]

How about this one?

We've got McGree
Riley McGree
I just don't think you understand
He comes from Oz
The blonde, midfield god
We've got Riley McGree

A totally original chant unheard of on our blessed Isles.

Better yet:

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, oi, oi, oi!

 

[outoftown]

Any reference to Mcgree, really should include his tash

 

[allied_assault]

How about - Riley Mcgree
aha aha I like it Riley Mcgree
Or Latte Lath or any of our players
Tune KC and the Sunshine Band
Short and sweet and you can’t forget the words

 

[Frozen Horse]

Any reference to Mcgree, really should include his tash

I don't mind that he's an Aussie,
I don't mind that his tash is dodgy
He's so fine, we've got to find the time,
For the life of Rileeee

 

[SilentProf]

To the tune of Highway to Hell

Riley Mcgree
Riley Mcgree
Riley Mcgree
Riley Mcgree

 

[RollingtonRolls]

McGree, McGree, he'll score a goal or two
McGree, McGree, or slot one right on through
McGree, McGree, I'm so in love with you

Denis, Blondie

 

[bungydinsdale]

what about something to the tune of Me and Bobby McGee


Here's a couple of potential lines for a wordsmith to weave in there

Scoring goals was easy now that Boro's got McGree

Good enough for me and Riley McGree
