The doh a deer (doe a deer?) song comes in for some criticism from some quarters due to it’s irrelevance and soppy goody-two-shoes sweetness. Others see these attributes as a positive advantage for a football song, eschewing the “We Are Great and You’re No’” attitude that other team’s supporters are too neanderthal to see beyond. Ahem.
Anyway, we at the AATA decided to come up with revisions of the basic doh a deer that at least brought some relevance to the TA campaigns. We tried to capture what following Scotland really means to us.
We present our humble efforts for your amusement. Which one (if any) do you prefer?
version 1. The “intelligentsia version”.
Go – for beer, a pint of beer.
Someone buys another round.
Eat some crap, sing TA songs.
Now my guts are churning round.
So, we go and watch the game.
Squeaky bum time again.
But we win so it’s ok.
And that brings us back to go-o-o-o….
version 2. The “we’ll be drinking” version.
Go – for beer, a pint of beer.
Ray – a drop of golden beer.
Me – I go and buy some beer.
Fah – a long, long queue for beer.
So – we go and get some beer.
La – we sing a song with beer.
Tea – a thing we eat with beer.
And that brings us back to go -o-o-o….
Or perhaps you just like the simple…..
version 3. The “alcoholic” version.
Go – for beer, a pint of beer
Then we go and get a beer
Then we have another beer
Then we go and get more beer
So we go and get a beer
Then we get another beer
Then we go and get more beer
And that brings us back to go-o-o-o….
