Sydney Swans

The Sydneysiders briefly flirted with a reworked version of Mike Brady's Up There Cazaly (Up There for Sydney) before returning to the South Melbourne song set to the tune of the Notre Dame Victory March made popular in the 1940 movie, 'Knute Rockne, All American'. The club actually wrote to the university to ask permission for its use. Supporter Larry Spokes is credited with penning the lyrics, which were conveyed to the club via former captain and coach Ron Clegg.

 

(to the tune of the Notre Dame Victory March)
Cheer, cheer the red and the white
Honour the name by day and by night
Lift that noble banner high
Shake down the thunder from the sky
What thou the odds be great or small
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victory
