OK all you budding songwriters......

[percy_freeman]

Fit "African Violet" in a song!

[Ravel]

African Violet
Leaves us silent
Goals crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to see
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

[Platypuss]

i tip-toe down to the shore
stand by the ocean
make it roar at me
and i roar back

African violetly happy
'cause i love you

[Winston Smith]

Steve looks drunk, we couldn't shift Pog, now we play in African Violet,
Cilla's dead and Beric said no, we'll drop quicker than that Blackbushe pilot

[Esteban]

We'll wear what we want,
We'll wear what we waaaaant,
African Violet,
We'll wear what we want.

[From Despair To Where?]

She wore an
itsy bitsy, teeny weeny
African violet bikini....

Stevie Clarke's African Violet Army

[SCIAG]

Joseph's face was black as night
The pale yellow moon shone for the pilots
His path was marked
By the stars in the southern hemisphere
And he walked his days
Under African violets

[Angry Shed Sex]

Chimm Chimminy, Chimm Chimminy
Chimm Chmim, Cheroo
We've got a kit that's more African Violet than Blue

[Steve_Upper_West]

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from blue
There's nothing eleven men or more could ever do
I curse the day we wore African Violet too
Gonna take some time to win the things we never have

[Handsome Man]

Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do,
Yeah, they were all African violet.

I came along,
I wrote a song for you,
And all the things you do,
And it was called "African violet".

So then I took my turn,
Oh what a thing to have done,
And it was all African violet.

Your skin,
Oh yeah your skin and bones,
Turn into
Something beautiful,
Do you know,
You know I love you so,
You know I love you so.

I swam across,
I jumped across for you,
Oh what a thing to do.
'Cause you were all African violet,

I drew a line,
I drew a line for you,
Oh what a thing to do,
And it was all African violet.

[Forbury Lion]

To the tune of Yellow Submarine

We all play in an African violet kit
an African violet kit, an African violet kit

We all play in an African violet kit
an African violet kit, an African violet kit



In response to home fans mocking our pink kit, To the tune of "where were you when you were sh*t)

African violet, African violet
African violet coloured kit
It's African violet coloured kit

[Z175]

I hear royals drummer echoing tonight
Drowning our only whispers of some quiet conversation
we're homing in three oclock white
And royal blue reflects the hoops that guide us towards salvation
I stopped Kevin Girdler along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say: "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to make us sing for you
There's nothing that 11 men or more could ever do
I bless the away kit in African
Violet but its a kit we wish we never had

The wild Pog cries out in the night
As he grow restless longing for some noisy chants and company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Green Park windmill rises like Olympus above the Madejski
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

One away win is all and we will sing for you
That is all that 11 men or more have to do
I bless the away kit in African
Violet if we wear it to win the league

OK....... a slight enhancement on my version but we should still share ROYALtieS

[Elm Park Kid]

To the tune of kumbaya:

"It's not pink, you know; it's vi-o-let"
"It's not pink, you know, it's vi-o-let"
"It's not pink, you know, it's vi-o-let"
"Af-ri-can vi-o-let".

[Sutekh]

Sweet Violet
Sweeter than the roses
Covered all over from head to toe
Covered all over in sweet violet

[Green]

To the tune of kumbaya:

"It's not pink, you know; it's vi-o-let"
"It's not pink, you know, it's vi-o-let"
"It's not pink, you know, it's vi-o-let"
"Af-ri-can vi-o-let".

Might work better to the tune of Michael rowed the boat ashore

[maffff]

Steve looks drunk, we couldn't shift Pog, now we play in African Violet,
Cilla's dead and Beric said no, we'll drop quicker than that Blackbushe pilot

[GH Royal]

Just like your mum's bra
Just like your mum's braaaaa
African violet, just like your mum's bra

[under the tin]

To the tune of Mother and child reunion (works in calypso or 4:4 with clapping)

When it's blue and white hoops its the Madstad
It's our home where the Royals play
But when African Violet shirts go on
We follow the Royals awaaay........
