1.	Sidney Kyte & His Piccadilly Hotel Dance Band, with vocal chorus by The Three Ginx - Oh I Do Like To See A Game Of Football 02:46	lyrics	buy track
Buck up all you forwards and you half-backs, Hear the crowd as happy as can be, When they finish making their little wisecracks, Hear them cheer the good old referee... Oh I do like to see a game of football, When Saturday afternoon comes 'round, Hip, Hooray! When they break away, The cheers roll 'round the ground. Oh I do do like to see a game of football, It's
2.	Harry Weldon - Stiffy The Goalkeeper 02:58	lyrics	buy track
Hark to the shouting, Stiffy is the man they're cheering, Stiffy is the best goalkeeper that ever let a ball go through. They said this morning that by a hundred goals they'd beat me, But they didn't know the man they had to deal with, 'cos we only lost by forty-two. I guarded my goal quite collected and cool, kept hopping about like a little mad bull, They didn't give me time for to draw my breath; it's a wonder that I wasn't trampled to death, But when Stiffy's between the sticks, when Stiffy's between the sticks, He can stop any kind of ball - a football, or a brandy-ball, And Vivian Woodward says, when I start my monkey-tricks, 'What's the good of me trying to score, when Stiffy's between the sticks?'

Shout, shout, shout for happiness, there's no joy unless you Shout for happiness all day through. Sing, sing, let your voices ring, bid your troubles adieu, Take the joy that is meant for you. Don't sit in the corner like Jackie Horner - get where the bright lights are! Just look up high, search the sky, find your lucky star, Shout, shout, shout for happiness, there's no joy if you're blue, Shout for happiness all day through. 'C'mon Max, what makes you feel for happiness, eh? Been to see the Cup Final?'

11.	Norman Long - On The Day When Chelsea Went And Won The Cup 02:59	lyrics	buy track
Now a little while ago I dreamed the most amazing dream, It tickled me to death when I woke up. Now you know just how impossible the things we dream of are, But I dreamt that Chelsea went and won the Cup. Of course, as the the result of an astounding thing like this, A host of other strange events occurred. All folks and things were opposite to what they really are, And the happenings were really most absurd...

15.	Albert Whelan - Pass, Shoot, Goal! 03:26	lyrics	buy track
In my home town, in my home town, everyone's a football fan When their team goes to face its foes, the lads go with it to a man. It keeps a player's heart up, that his own supporters cheer. When teams delight to bark and bite, and chew each others' ears... Football, football, sends 'em up the pole, You'll hear the gentle voices howling 'Pass, Shoot, Goal!' Potty, dotty, right up the sausage roll, You'll hear the gentle voices calling 'Pass, Shoot, Goal!' The poor referee is kicked by three or four Right between his whistle and the half-time score Squeaking, shrieking, with all their heart and soul, You'll hear the angel voices calling 'Pass, Shoot, Goal!'

about

Football as a mass spectator sport arrived only shortly before the invention of recorded sound. 'PASS, SHOOT, GOAL!' traces the early relationship between the British music industry and the national game, and tells the story of football during the interwar period through the music of some of those who were obsessed with it.
