A fiver in the bank, the most cutting line in the East Midlands derby. Forest fans aimed this one at arch-rivals Derby County during a period when the Rams faced serious financial difficulties. Sharp, pointed, and delivered with glee at the City Ground. One of the most memorable Nottingham Forest chants in recent years. Get the lyrics on FanChants.
Lyrics for Derby's Going Down with a Fiver in the Bank
Derby's going down with a fiver in the bank,
A fiver in the bank,
A fiver in the bank,
Derby's going down with a fiver in the bank,
A fiver in the bank,
A fiver in the bank,
Going up,
Going down,
Going up,
Going down,
Going up,
Going down,
Going up,
Going down...
