Blue Blue through and through

BLUE

No need to have the name the state
Where league was born, you know it’s great
It’s a land where God goes for a walk
Leagues legends are asked to repeat their talk
Where wearing the blue is do or die
Maroon is hated like a cloudy sky
The Cane toads come to share our spoils
Then hop back to Queensland for the origin toils
On their bellies their flown back home
Topped up with banana’s and the seed is sown
Then it’s mate to mate and your state’s your pride
Where you mock ya neighbour from the other side
Where strength comes from wearing the blue
And ya passion is found, both old and new
Tommy’s boys they did us all proud
They stood toe to toe amidst the angry crowd
They may not have won the points that night
But by the strength of a roach they won the fight
Many a legend from the game has been born
And many a legend the blue he has worn
Our determination to stand up to all
Our skill to defend and run with the ball
A cockroach may be ugly to the few
But to NSW he’s proud and he’s blue.
