Lyrics:
UP UP CRONULLA
The correct lyrics are often debated! These are the two principal versions of the song.
Version 1 (played after the game):
Up, Up Cronulla
The boys in the black, white and blue
Up, up Cronulla
Name of the Sharks fits* you
Sharks, Sharks forever
Go out and play without fear
Now's the time to see good football
For the Sharks are here
(Up the Sharks!)
Version 2 (Original version according to Gary Lester's book, and at least one verse of the song as sung by the team after a win):
Up, Up Cronulla
The boys in the black, white and blue
Up, up Cronulla
We're all depending on you
Sharks, Sharks forever
Go out and play without fear
Now's the time to see good football
For the Sharks are here
(Up the Sharks!)

ST GEORGE DRAGONS TEAM SONG
Written in the late 1940s by Jack Mogridge (player 1928-29) and Owen
Clarkson
We are the St George boys,
We had a win today,
We are the boys you know of,
Who show them how to play,
No matter where you be,
The red and white you'll see,
Now aren't we a wonderful credit,
To our locality!
WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHIN' IN
(Traditional)
Oh when the Saints, go marching in,
Oh when the Saints go marching in.
Oh I want to be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in.
Oh when the sun, begins to shine,
When the sun begins to shine.
Oh I want to be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in.
Oh when the Saints, go marching in,
Oh when the Saints go marching in.
Oh I want to be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in.
Other verses:
Oh when the horn, begins to sound....
Oh when the day of judgment comes...
DRAGON ARMY CHANTS
When The Saints Go Marching In
Oh when the Saints
go marching in,
Oh when the Saints
go marching in
I want to be in that number,
When the Saints go marching in |
That’s why we’re Bulldogs.
We play like Bulldogs.
It comes from deep inside.
A kind of family pride.
It's true as day is long.
It's brave, it's tough, it's strong.
It’s history that makes.
That character it takes.
It’s power, guts and guile.
A dogged football style.
CHORUS:
That’s why we’re Bulldogs.
We play like Bulldogs.
No fear we’re Bulldogs.
We’ll stay like Bulldogs.
It’s victories we’ve won.
And hard yards we have run.
Attack that can inspire.
Defence that’s full of fire.
A character that shows.
Despite the highs and lows.
It’s courage that you need.
To join this special breed, yeah.

To The Battle Hymn Of The Republic:
South Sydney Marches On....
CHORUS
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
South Sydney Marches On
When speaking of the champions
One stands above the rest
Of glories old and records proud
When often put to test
Of fine traditions, history
That others cannot best
They wear the RED & GREEN
REPEAT CHORUS
They mauled the Balmain Tigers
Slew the Dragons from St. George
The Seagulls and the Mounties next
Were crushed with mighty force
They humbled Parramatta
And the Berries in due course
They wear the RED & GREEN
REPEAT CHORUS
They plucked the Western Magpies
Slashed the Newtown bag of blue
The Eastern Suburbs rooster crowed
And then was conquered too
The greatest name in any game
Within South Sydney grew
They wear the RED & GREEN
REPEAT CHORUS (twice)
