these words: greg champion-jane harris-john ogge-stuart macarthur
we’re the admiration of a nation
we’re respected by our foes
we hit ‘em real high and we hit ‘em low
and we give ‘em the old heave-ho
2
though they send us up we’ll keep our end up
we’re riding the bumps with a grin
if we are behind, well, we never mind
‘cos we’re risking our head and our shins
3
oh – ju-ust for rec-er-eation’s sake
to pa-ass the ti-ime of day
we pla-ay the game as it should be played
at home or far away
4
oh, what though the odds they be great or small
we shake down the thunder from the sky
should old acquaintance be forgot
form dawn to dark, our banners fly high
5
we won’t stop stop stop stop till we’re top top top
‘cos teamwork is the thing that talks
we have lots of fun we have heaps of fun
and the premiership is a cakewalk
