The official theme song of the Fitzroy Lions Football Club (used from 1977 until the merger in 1996).
The Fitzroy Lions are an AFL football club established in 18, and played in the VFA until the breakaway completion (VFL) was established. They were apart of the original 8 teams to join the VFL in 1897 and left the AFL in 1996 after a long financial struggling leading to a merge with the Brisbane Bears to create the Brisbane Lions. During their time in VFL/AFL, they went on to win 8 premierships, them being the 1898, 1899, 1904, 1905, 1913, 1916, 1922 and 1944 VFL Grand Finals. Fitzroy's anthem was the longest of the original 12 by The Fable Singers in the mid 70's, and I personally think it is one of the best overall. We miss you, Fitzroy.
Lyrics:
(opening)
We are the boys from old Fitzroy,
we wear the colours, maroon and blue.
We will always fight for victory,
and we'll always see it through.
Win or lose, we do or die,
in defeat, we'll always try.
Fitzroy! Fitzroy!
the club we hold so dear.
Premiers, we'll be this year.
(instrumental)
We are the boys from old Fitzroy,
we wear the colours, maroon and blue.
We will always fight for victory,
and we'll always see it through.
Win or lose, we do or die,
in defeat, we'll always try.
Fitzroy! Fitzroy!
the club we hold so dear.
Premiers, we'll be this year.
