For a songwriter like you so easy surely to adapt the words to get quite a good song.
Oh well, I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where Wycombe Wanderers are, well you know that I'm around
I cheer 'em and I sing to 'em every single game
I really really love 'em tho they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Oh well, there's Fred on my left and then there's Wheeler on my right
And Bayo is the guy playing upfront tonight
And when they ask me, which one I love the best?
I tear open my shirt and I show "Ainsworth" on my chest
Cause I'm the wanderer
Yeah, the wanderer
I roam around, around, around
Not sure I should be the one singing it though (for obvious reasons) and lets be honest those Gary Glitter associations are a bit awkward.
Basically a rip off of @glasshalffull 's excellent effort 26 years ago but omitting the 'roam from town to town' verse
The heavy irony in the first verse was very cleverly done though!
It's actually a pretty bleak, pessimistic song. The line "I'm as happy as a clown with my two fists of iron, but I'm going nowhere" sums up its meaning. The guy is lost in life. Hope it's not prophetic.
Think I’m correct that the owners (the estate of Michael Jackson?) of the song do not permit the lyrics to be tinkered with in any way, hence why previous versions as mentioned were not recorded.
If we used the same word association logic as 'The Wanderer', the following anthems would be sung by other clubs:
Bolton Wanderers: 'When A Man Loves A Woman' by Michael Bolton
Ipswich Town: 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy' by Kenny Chesney
Carlisle United: 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' by Belinda Carlisle
Forest Green: 'It's Not Easy Being Green' by Kermit The Frog
Morecambe: 'Bring Me Sunshine' by Morecambe & Wise

The great Michael Jackson had a terrible childhood which meant having young boys sleep in his bed when he was 40 was totally innocent and not pervy at all.

For all the furore about the cheerleaders a few weeks ago, I'm surprised there's not similar with the Wanderer song. After all it's about a geezer roaming around towns treating women like conquests.

Some old anthems here from COTN
Hull: “I of the tigers” - Survivor
Perhaps we can play Back Door Santa over the festive period?
Does that mean what I think it means?
Is Back Door Santa a game, a song, a "film" or someone's stage name?
I think you will find Back Door Santa is one of the un named locals in the BFP https://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/17997548.five-men-given-warnings-kerb-crawling-desborough-road-high-wycombe/
Definitely not one to put into urban dictionary

With some trepidation, I feel obliged to suggest that Emily Jane White’s “Hole in the Middle” might be an appropriate anthem for Scunthorpe.....
Think of the children (weep, weep)
