Lyrics for Steve Bloomer's Watching

Our history’s full of legends, And football played on high, Raich Carter, Peter Doherty, You should of seen ‘em fly. Now we all love football, But will we lift the crown, The noise goes up, the rams come out, On to the hallowed ground. Steve Bloomer's watchin', Helping the fight, Guiding the heroes, In the black and the white. All teams who come here, There's nowhere to hide, Everyone is frightened, Of that Derby pride . The Rams just play football, That makes our heart so proud, McFarland and Hector, Were names to thrill the crowd. And if you love or hate us, Just wait until we score, The ball goes in, the stands light up, And how the mighty roar. Steve Bloomer's watchin', Helping the fight, Guiding the heroes, In the black and the white. All teams who come here, There's nowhere to hide, Everyone is frightened, Of that Derby pride. The Rams are a coming, We're out the to win, Playing like fury, They won't let ‘em in . Home sides be wary, Of our heart and our soul, We're searching for glory, And victory is our goal . Steve Bloomer's watchin', Helping the fight, Guiding the heroes, In the black and the white. All teams who come here, There's nowhere to hide, Everyone is frightened, Of that Derrrrrbbbbbbyyyyyy prrriiidddeeeee. Derby!
