Queens Park Rangers Songs and QPR Chants: From Everywhere We Go to We’re the Rangers
Football clubs up and down the land have a wealth of songs sung to them by their supporters on a regular basis, with Queens Park Rangers being no exception. In some ways, there is something about QPR’s position as one of the lesser-supported London clubs that means that fans are well placed to be able to come up with a whole host of songs and chants aimed at offering their team the kind of support that it needs to be able to win, yet the truth is that many of the ditties brought out on a regular basis are variations on a theme.
There aren’t actually many football clubs that actually do have unique songs brought out by their supporters, instead seeing many put a personalised twist on the same sorts of songs that are sung elsewhere in the country. In the case of Queens Park Rangers, there are definitely some that are only really sung by fans of the Hoops. That personalisation is obviously significantly more interesting than just singing the same songs that everyone else sings, often resulting in a bit more of a bounce at Loftus Road when QPR play.
We will have a look at a number of different songs that you can expect to hear from QPR fans here, but it is worth bearing in mind that this list is far from exhaustive. Not only that, but it is entirely possible that it will be out of date by the time that you come to read it, such is the extent to which Queen Park Rangers supporters will look to update their songbook for games played both at Loftus Road and when playing away. That being said, hopefully this will give you a sense of the kinds of things you’d be likely to hear when watching one of their matches.
Everywhere We Go
There are numerous songs that are sung by football supporters that are about the team, with only a few actually being about the fans themselves. In the case of Queens Park Rangers, one of the songs that the supporters enjoy singing is Everywhere We Go, which is about the fans heading around the country in order to support the team wherever they end up playing. The words aren’t exactly the most original, nor are they the kind of thing that will give everyone on the pitch a lift, but they are funny and interesting at least.
Here is what supporters sing:
Everywhere we go,
Everywhere we go,
We’re the Rangers boys,
Making all the noise,
Everywhere we go!
Forever and Ever
It is entirely fair to point out that QPR and Chelsea haven’t been rivals for some time. Even so, the proximity of the two clubs to one another means that the Blues are never far from the minds of Queens Park Rangers supporters, who will sing about them, amongst other London clubs, if the mood takes. In the case of this song, it is mostly about supporting their team, but revolves around the idea of not letting the Stamford Bridge club get one over on them if it can be avoided at any point in the future.
Here is how it goes:
Forever and ever we’ll follow our team.
We’re Queens Park Rangers,
We rule supreme,
We’ll never be mastered,
By you,
By you,
By you Chelsea bastards!
We’ll stick the blue flag up yer arse,
Up yer arse,
Up yer arse!
From Stamford Bridge to Wembley,
We’ll stick your blue flag up your arse!
We are the Rangers Boys

One of the things that Queens Park Rangers supporters are able to turn to more than other clubs is the fact that they have a (nearly) unique name. Yes, there are both a Queens Park and a Rangers in Scotland, but it isn’t exactly the most common of names for teams. This means that supporters can go through the process of coming up with songs that point to that fact, with more than a few of the chants issued out during matches being based around the ‘Rangers’ name. Here is one of them:
We are the Rangers boys!
Stand up and make some noise!
We are the Rangers boys!
Stand up and make some noise!
We are the Rangers boys!
Stand up and make some noise!
We are the Rangers boys!
Stand up and make some noise!
We are the Rangers boys!
Stand up and make some noise!
You Should’ve Seen Us Coming
Queens Park Rangers are one of countless different teams based in London, which is something that is pointed to during this song. It makes reference to certain parts of the English capital, as well as the manner in which QPR supporters will have taken to the streets at numerous times during London derbies. Quite how much a derby can be considered to be a derby when there are so many of them played across such a vast city is a different matter, but here is what the QPR fans sing from time to time:
Oh me lads you should of seen us coming;
Running down the Uxbridge Road.
You should of seen us coming;
All the lads and lasses, smile upon their faces,
Running down the Uxbridge Road,
To see the Queens Park Rangers!
We Are QPR
As referenced already, one of the most interesting things about QPR is the club’s name, which is often shortened to the aforementioned acronym. It is something that supporters are understandably proud of, fitting the information into as many songs as possible. This is just one example, going through the letters one by one in order to reach the point that the club’s acronym has been spelled out. Here’s what to listen out for:
Oh we’re the Q block,
The Q block,
The Q block Shepherd’s Bush!
Oh we’re the P block,
The P block,
The P block Shepherd’s Bush!
Oh we’re the R block,
The R block,
The R block Shepherd’s Bush!
We are QPR!
SAY, we are QPR!
The Chelsea Family
The position of QPR in West London puts Chelsea as one of their closest rivals, which supporters never tire of singing about if they’re in the mood for it. It won’t come as much of a shock to you that many of the songs that are produced by Queens Park Rangers supporters about their nearest rivals are often not of the friendliest, with this one in particular suggesting that the parentage of Chelsea supporters might be via an incest relationship. The following is sung to the tune of The Addams Family:
Your mother is your father.
Your father is your mother.
You all shag one another:
The Chelsea family.
The Pride of West London
Another song that the supporters will bring out from time to time is one that is all about the club’s position in West London in general. The presence of the Hoops in that area of the city puts not only Chelsea but also Fulham in direct opposition to them to win over supporters who live in the various suburbs. Randomly, this song also contains a reference to Cardiff City, which is a club that obviously isn’t based in West London but that QPR have come up against on several occasions over the years:
We are the pride of West London!
We’re blue and we’re white,
We hate Cardiff City,
And Chelsea are shite!
We go on the piss up,
Both home and away,
And if you love Rangers,
Repeat what I say…
(Repeat)
You’re Not Famous
Sometimes, QPR come up against teams that were once considered to be big names, but they have now slipped down the thinking of most football fans for any number of reasons. When that happens, the Queens Park Rangers supporters aren’t shy in letting them know, bringing out the following chant to put the opposition fans in their place:
You’re not famous,
You’re not famous,
You’re not famous anymore!
You’re not famous anymore!
We’re the Rangers
Sometimes, teams get themselves into a rut that means that they can’t seem to win away from their home ground. When this becomes the case, it isn’t unheard of for supporters to make a joke of it, singing things such as ‘how shit must you be, we’re winning away!’. We’re the Rangers is a song that fits into a similar mould, being sung to the tune of Mbube, which is better known as The Lion Sleeps Tonight, arguably made famous by The Tokens. This is what the supporters sing when they’re playing in an away game:
We’re the Rangers,
The Mighty Rangers,
We’re gonna win away!
We’re the Rangers,
The Mighty Rangers,
We’re gonna win away!
All Together now:
A win away,
A win away,
A win away,
A win away,
A win away,
A win away,
A win away,
A win away!
