A rare version of Glory Glory to South Sydney that was included with a member-exclusive CD-ROM circa 2005 – sounds like it’s sung by (and was apparently also written by) Allan Caswell who was instrumental in our fightback effort of the 2000s.
Uploaded here for posterity. For those wondering, I can’t recall if this was ever played at the ground as our run-out song, but I know in 2005 and 2006 we used a version of Russell Morris’s “The Real Thing” to tie-in with our sponsorship from the then-fledgling Real Insurance.
Lyrics (transcribed):
South Sydney marches on!
[Chorus]
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
Glory, Glory to South Sydney
South Sydney marches on
When you speak of champions, the Rabbits stand alone,
Others come and others go, pretenders to the throne,
We’re standing by our record, it’s been tested to the bone!
We wear the Red and Green!
[Chorus]
We’re marking on the road to glory like we’ve always done before!
The Tigers and the Panthers: we’ve taken out their claws,
The Roosters and the Eagles with their feathers on the floor!
We wear the Red and Green!
[Chorus]
The Melbourne Storm, Cronulla Sharks and Parramatta Eels,
The Warriors and the Cowboys, they all know how it feels,
The Bulldogs and the Raiders and the Knights know we’re for real!
We wear the Red and Green!
[Chorus]
We’ll meet the Broncos up in Brisbane and we’ll play them, tough and strong
We’ll fire up for the Dragons at Kogarah or the ‘Gong,
We’ll hail the mighty Rabbitohs with our famous victory song!
We wear the Red and Green!
[Chorus]
