"Those were the Days" - The official Town anthem
(To the tune of "Those Were The Days" by Maru Hopkins. Midi File Version - click here to listen)

Verse 1
Once upon there was an era
When we used to win a cup or two
Now I'm sure those days are returning
For the boys in stripes of white and blue

Chorus
Those were the days my friend, we
Thought they'd never end, we won the
League three times in a row, we won the
FA Cup and now we're going up, we are
The Town, oh yes we are the Town

Verse 2
Now the future looks a whole lot brighter
Than it did look for a year or two
Lets all sing this song at the McAlpine
And hope all our football dreams come true

Repeat the Chorus

Verse 3
We're all proud to say we come from Yorkshire
And we're Huddersfield Town through and through
Lets all sing this song like in the old days
When 67,000 dressed in blue

Repeat the Chorus again and again

YouTube video of Town fans singing the anthem in a pub Our YouTube of the music and lyrics of the anthem

This was the Town 'cup anthem' during the 1920's to the 1960's and recently is making a massive return to the stadium.
The lyrics below were printed in a match day programme in 1955:

There's a team that's dear to it's followers,
Their colours are bright blue and white,
They're a team of renown, they're the pride of the town,
And the game of Football is their delight.

All the while upon the field of play,
Thousands loudly cheer them on their way,
Often you could hear them say,
Who can beat the Town today?

Then the bells shall ring so merrily,
Every goal shall be a memory,
So Town play up and bring the cup,
Back to Huddersfield

Alternative versions ...

There's a team that's dear to it's followers,
Their colours are bright blue and white,
They're a team of renown, they're the pride of the town,
And the game of Football is their delight.

All the while upon the field of play,
Thousands gladly cheer them on their way,
Often you could hear them say,
Who can beat the Town today?

Then the bells will ring so merrily,
Every goal will be a memory,
So Town play up and bring the cup,
Back to Huddersfield

The version used in the 1920's to the 1960s

There's a team that's dear to it's followers,
Its colours are bright blue and white,
'Tis a team of renown, the pride of the town,
And the game of Football is their delight.

All the while upon the field of play,
Thousands loudly cheer them on their way,
Often you could hear them say,
Who can beat the Town today?

Then the crowd will cheer so merrily,
Every goal will be a memory,
So Town play up and bring the cup,
Back to Huddersfield

About a mile from Huddersfield, down on the A62. There is a place we call Leeds Road I'd like to show to you.

And we all know, no matter what there's none that ever will

Repeat the Chorus

Verse 2
We know that there are many teams with followers and fans, who said that we had had our day, but they don't understand.

Rule the Terriers the Cowshed boys are we. We shall cheer our team to victory
*

Repeat the Chorus

Verse 3

You came with us to watch the greatest team that's ever played, the greatest game of football
Since the first football was made

This section is sometimes 'all ticket' when the rest of the Britannia Rescue stand is not.
