Matty Cash has been one of Aston Villa's best players over the past five years, and he is one of the main reasons why the club have enjoyed a meteoric rise under Unai Emery.
His performances at right-back have made him a firm favourite with the Villa Park faithful, which isn't always easy to do as a full-back.
It is therefore no surprise that there is a Matty Cash chant within the Aston Villa songbook. For all the most important information on the chant, including the lyrics and the tune that it is sung to, keep reading.
Matty Cash chant, lyrics and tune
The Matty Cash chant is sung to the tune of ‘Spirit in the Sky' by Norman Greenbaum. The lyrics are as follows:
He’s our right back, he’s our number two
Signed for Villa, the Polish Cafu,
Down the right, and he loves to attack,
And he goes by the name of Matty Cash!
Matty Cash chant background
The Matty Cash chant was only created in 2023, some three years after the full-back joined the club from Nottingham Forest. Although it was a long time coming, you could argue that it was worth the wait, as it is one of the best in the entire Villa songbook.
The chant has been used by football fans before, most notably by Man Utd fans for their ‘going on the p**s with Georgie Best' chant, but the lyrics to this are so far away from that football chant that it's difficult to accuse Villa fans of copying.
The reference to Cash being the ‘Polish Cafu' is a nice touch, while the rest of the chant sums him up as a player perfectly, acknowledging his love to bomb forward from right-back to aid Villa attacks.

FGG says: Time to take it to the terraces
This is one of those chants that is most commonly heard in pubs around Villa Park and on Aston Villa away days. It's now time for more casual supporters to learn it in order to get it reverberating around Villa Park because the player deserves his flowers after five years of excellent service.
