Jack (the real one) wrote this ode to the followers of Eastern Suburbs in 2002.
Hey Roosters!
Do we play this game for company?
(It's a novel way to meet)
Do we play this game in winter
To generate some heat?
Do we play this game for victory
Or are we happy in defeat?
Or is it just for profit...
Or to think that we're elite?
(Chorus)
To our fans we tell you
If you have not been told
We play this game for all of us
We play it from the soul!
We'll send you home without a moan
When victory comes our way
But knowing in advance
That it never comes to stay.
We'll remember strong when things went wrong
You never walked away...
Standing out there in the cold.
So, please join with us and say:
(Chorus)
To our fans we tell you
If you have not been told
We play this game for all of us
We play it from the soul!
