186/365 I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air,

They fly so high,

Nearly reach the sky,

Then like my dreams,

They fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding,

I've looked everywhere,

I'm forever blowing bubbles,

Pretty bubbles in the air.

 

The song I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles is a popular American song which debuted in 1918 and was first published in 1919. The music was written by John Kellette. The lyrics are credited to "Jaan Kenbrovin" — actually a collective pseudonym for the writers James Kendis, James Brockman and Nat Vincent, combining the first three letters of each lyricist's last name. The song became a major Tin Pan Alley hit.

 

The song in more modern times is the club anthem of West Ham United, a London-based football club. It was adopted by West Ham's supporters in the late 1920s and is now one of the most recognisable club anthems in English football. West Ham football club and its supporters are known as The Hammers.

 

This version I think was released back in the 1980's by the club's supporters.
