Club song

Da da da da da
da da da da da (x2)
We are the red and white
We are the good ol' red and white
We're the team that comes from miles around
We'll beat 'em at home or any ol' ground
Some come to cheer us, some come to jeer us, they can't get near us
We are the team that will be premiers
We are the good ol' red and white
