There's only one answer in this house. Blackpool, not Preston North End. The Seasiders' take on the traditional football-fan nursery rhyme is pure Lancashire rivalry energy, delivered with all the partisan bite you'd expect from a Fylde Coast derby. One of the best-loved Blackpool FC chants against PNE. Lyrics on FanChants.
Lyrics for When I Was Just a Little Boy
When I was just a little boy,
I asked my mother what will be,
Will I be Blackpool or PNE,
Here's what she said to me,
Wash yer mouth out son,
Go and get your father's gun,
Go shoot some Preston scum,
Shoot the Preston scum
Ooooooohhhhh,
We hate Preston North End,
We hate Preston,
We hate Preston,
We hate Preston North End,
Oh Preston we hate you....
