- Ee Aye Addio
A traditional British celebratory football crowd song.
The usual format is:":"We've won the cup, we've won the cup, ee aye addio, we've won the cup"."
Variations are often made up on the spur of the moment.
The song perhaps first gained a wider audience at the 1965
FA Cup final atWembley Stadium , when the singing by supporters ofLiverpool FC was broadcast on TV and radio. Noticing the Queen had a red jacket on (Liverpool's team colours), the words were hastily changed to "Ee aye addio, the Queen's wearing red!".
