If You're All Going to Wembley Clap Your Hands

"If You're All Going To Wembley Clap Your Hands" is traditional football song, sung to the tune She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain. It has many word variations.

A football crowd will generally sing this song if their team are going to reach a "cup" final at Wembley Stadium. The final could be any one played there from the FA Cup through to the Johnstone Paint Trophy. The clapping of hands by fans implies that they will loyally be going at the final.

While Wembley was out of action (2000-2007), finals took place at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. So "Cardiff" was sung as the final venue instead.

"If you're all going to Wembley" clap your hands,"

"If you're all going to Wembley clap your hands,"

"If you're all going to Wembley,"

"All going to Wembley,"

"All going to Wembley clap your hands."

The song is sometimes adapted to taunt opponents on topical news; for example, when Fulham Football Club chairman Mohammed Al-Fayed was denied a British passport shortly after purchasing the club, rival Chelsea fans sang the words:

"If your chairman's got a passport clap your hands, [clap clap] "

"If your chairman's got a passport clap your hands, [clap clap] "

"If your chairman's got a passport"

"Chairman's got a passport"

"If your chairman's got a passport clap your hands, [clap clap] "

Celtic Football Club fans sing "If You Hate The Rangers" to taunt their bitter City rivals Glasgow Rangers F.C.:

"If You Hate The Fucking Rangers Clap Your Hands, [clap clap] "

"If You Hate The Fucking Rangers Clap Your Hands, [clap clap] "

"If You Hate The Fucking Rangers,"

"Hate The Fucking Rangers,"

"Hate The Fucking Rangers Clap Your Hands, [clap clap clap clap] "
