Do you have any songs that we should use to goad our opponents when we give them a good thrashing? If so, share them with us at gladesvilleravens@yahoo.com.au. For the moment, we'll stick with our anthem, which raised the roof in the game against Normo at the Peel Stadium of Light:

The Anthem: Remember, one or two people sing the line, the team then repeats it:

> Everywhere we go , Everywhere we go 
> The people all know, The people all know 
> Who we are, Who we are 
> And where we come from, And where we come from 
> We are the Ravens, We are the Ravens 
> The Mighty Gladesville Ravens, The Mighty Gladesville Ravens
> They come from near and far, They come from near and far 
> To see this team of stars, To see this team of stars 
> We play with skill and flair, We play with skill and flair 
> And we drink a lot of beer, And we drink a lot of beer 
> We are the Ravens, We are the Ravens 
> The Mighty Gladesville Ravens, The Mighty Gladesville Ravens 
> West Penno were outplayed, West Penno were outplayed 
> And we've won again today, And we've won again today 
> Our next game's tonight, Our next game's tonight 
> Where we'll drink a pub dry, Where we'll drink a pub dry 
> We are the Ravens, We are the Ravens 
> The Mighty Gladesville Ravens, The Mighty Gladesville Ravens

The official Gladesville Ravens team song has been unearthed by the club captain...

We all agree
The Ravens are magic 
Their skill and their cunning 
Their tireless running 
They must be the team for me Ohhh [repeat until hoarse]

And unbelievably, the songs just keep on flooding in. We're still waiting for our most famous fan, Craig David, to come up with a new single dedicated to us..

Sung to the theme of Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

It was 40 years ago today 
When Terry Gibbons told the team to play 
They've been going in out of style 
But they're guaranteed to raise a smile 
So let me introduce to you 
the one only Ravens team 
The Gladesville Ravens Premier League

The fans have started to contribute with some songs this season: here's a couple of memorable ones that will become terrace favourites, especially with the World Cup on our minds...

Sung to the tune of the hymn The Lord of the Dance

"I was drunk last night and I was drunk the night before
And I'm gonna get drunk like I've never been before
And we will drink, wherever we may be,
Because we are the drunk and dis-or-der-ly."

[Chorus] "Driiiiiiink, driiiiiiiiiink, wherever we may be.
We are the drunk and dis-or-der-ly.
And we will drink, wherever we may be,
Cos we are the drunk and dis-or-der-ly." [Repeat until dawn]

And to the tune of Knees up Mother Brown...

Eeeh-Aye, Eeeh-Aye, Eeeh-Aye-Oh
Up the Premier League we go
When we are the champions,
This is what we'll sing
We are the Ravens, Super Ravens, [Georgie*] is our king.

 * clearly, substitute the flavour of the day in place of Georgie.

To the tune of Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

There's only one Gladesville Ravens,
One Gladesville Ravens,
We're walking along, singing this song,
Walking in a Ravens wonderland [repeat]

To some dodgy Irish tune No Nay Never...

And it's Gladesville Ravens,
Gladesville Ravens SC,
We're by far the greatest team,
The world has ever seen... [repeat]

Zorby's favourite, to the tune of This Old Man...

We are black,
We are white,
We are f*cking dynamite,
La la la lah la,
La lah la la.... ooooh.

A Stevie Z special, to the tune of Macho Man...

Ravens, Ravens Man,
I wanna be... a Ravens Man [Repeat]

And a song for when we get close to the Championship, to the tune of some tune or other...

We're going to win the league,
We're going to win the league,
So now you're going to be believe us,
So now you're going to be believe us,
So now you're going to be believe us,
We're going to win the league [Repeat]

Here's a special adaptation of the Geordie Anthem The Blaydon Races...

I went to see the Ravens,
Was on the ninth of June,
Was nineteen hundred and eighty two,
On a winters afternoon,
We took the bus from Top Ryde shops,
And she was heavy laden,
Away we went along Morrison Road,
That's on the road to Gladesville

[Chorus] Oh, me lads,
You should have seen us gannin,
Passing the folk along the road,
Just as they were standin,
All the lads and lasses there,
All with smiling faces
Going along Victoria Road,
To see the Gladesville Ravens [Repeat Chorus]
