SWANNIES!

We WON!!!

I have been singing the Sydney Swans anthem since I was about 7 as my whole bloody family (extended included! - whom I all love very much!) goes for this team. My pop drove a red mini.
A red mini that had a white roof. That he painted. My dad has a gazillion signed posters, hats,
jerseys you name it, my grandmother also has a lot of memorabilia, my great aunt has a
 knitted swans octopus on the back head rest of her car... the list goes on!

Anyway my parents had this bear who you could press his paw and he would sing... the anthem!

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

Whether the odds be great or small,
Swans will go in and win overall
While her loyal sons are marching
Onwards to victoryyyyyyyyyy!

So basically I'm buzzing right now, especially as my pop passed away a few years ago and I know this would make him super duper happy :)
