De Graaf song - anyone?

[Arch Stanton]

Surprised no one has done this yet as I already have a couple of sad attempts I could have added on, so here goes -

(tune of Glory Glory)

He isn't Clarence or Edgar
He isn't Dennis or Robin
He isn't Patrick or Ronald
Oh he's our own Edwin

Glory Glory to Edwin
Glory Glory to Edwin
Glory Glory to Edwin
Oh he's our own Edwin

I was sure that the first two lines of 'A Letter from America' could have been used but the best I could manage is (and apologies if you already have a queezy stomach) -


He's Not a giraffe
He's Edwin De Graaf

And, if he really is the Dutch Sauzee you could always do -


Edwin, there's only yin Edwin

And now I really will get my coat. :agree:

Don't let the door hit yer erse on the way oot :wink:

Taking another angle though - did you notice that "De Graaf" translates from Dutch as "The Earl" or "The Count"?

That being the case I think we should consider the following for his theme tune:

or if we want to get a bit high brow then....

''Tell all the hertz u know, we've got de graaf and you've no, he runs doon the wing, so we can all sing, we've got de graaf and you've no!''

Scans poorly, makes no sense, you know, in a crazy way, I think you might be on something. :greengrin

[Sandy]

Yup yer right, he pesh, no Hibs class and his website is garbage. In fact I think I will send back the new strip I have just bought as I am so underwhelmed, he is that bad we might as well start booing him now as we know he will never have a good game :yawn:

[Arch Stanton]

How about we let him earn the right to have his own song first?

To the tune of Hey Jude?

You've bought a new strip with his name on the back before you've seen him play? That's brave.

Hope you don't end up feeling like those guys that names like Guggi or Deitrich on the back of theirs.

[Scouse Hibee]

Million Pound Players
Yer avin a laugh
We're the mighty Hibs
And we only need De Graaf

[Leith_Hibee]

Didn't say he was pesh! In fact, he sounds like a great signing but lets see him produce the goods in the green before we start giving him this inflated status.

No harm at all in being prepared is what I say. There won't be one peep of a song if he is rubbish that's for sure.

[Barney McGrew]

To the tune of Hey Jude?

:tee hee:

[snooky]

Smashing title - just need a couple of good verses now :greengrin

:singing: "Yes we'll all come to see him, in the shade of the Leith San Sir-oh, it's good to watch the green De Graff at home."

There ye go Crabit :cool2:

[frazeHFC]

To the "over the Irish sea tune"

There is a mighty Dutch player
Goes by the name De Graaf
Got the chance to come to Hibs
And said "i fancy that"

He could of gone to England
Or even America
But he wanted to join a team
With a high level of class


:confused: Well :cool2:Second verse is poor.....probably the first too.....

[Arch Stanton]

:singing: "Yes we'll all come to see him, in the shade of the Leith San Sir-oh, it's good to watch the green De Graff at home."

Pretty damn good - I would enjoy singing that. Just need to finish it off with a few 'Eddie Graf, clap, clap clap'
