England fan David Sodberg (old no 2)has sent us these unofficial songs to sing! We have given the credit to the author when we can. The songs are meant in fun and created in the aftermath and jubilation of the Rugby World Cup Win!
Games
And St Albion did look upon the impending Soccer
European
championships and was not pleased saying
" I am fed up with this rotten game"
And did call forth the archangels of sport ,
WC Grace, Bobby Moore, Graham Hill and Fred Perry beseeching them to change the game in England's favour.
And low it was done and the game was Rugby and Europe lost in
spades
And the European multitude did cry
" Oh perfidious Albion
"

Song Sung to the tune of - Back in the Winter of Zero Three.
Got my first real six pack, Bought it down Victoria Wine,
Played Rugby till my nose bled, It was the Winter of Zero Three.
Me and some guys from the pub, Had a team and we tried real hard,
Jimmy quit and Jody got married, I shoulda known we've never get that far,
Oh, when I look back now, And if I had the choice,
Ya - I'd always wanna be there, Those were the best days of my life.
Ain't no use in complainin', If you're Aussie and you've got no Bill,
Spent my evenings watching re-runs of the drop goal, And that's when I
met you.
Standin' back down in the local, You told me that you thought Clive was
clever,
Oh, when Jonny lined it up, I knew it was now or never,
That was the best day of my life, Back in the Winter of Zero Three.
Man we went and nailed those Aussies, We were young and restless,
Campo needed to unwind, I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no.
And now the times are changin', Look at the players come and gone,
Sometimes when I drink that old six pack, I think about were those
Aussies went wrong.
Standin' back down in the local, You told me that you thought Clive was
clever,
Oh, when Jonny lined it up, I knew it was now or never,
That was the best day of my life, Back in the Winter of Zero Three.

Song Sung to the Tune of - American Pie
by Fatsculler
Not so long ago, I can still remember how that rugby final made me
smile.
And I knew if we had our chance that we could muller Wales and
France and maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But Saturday made theAussies shiver with every point our boys delivered.
Bad news, Mr Gregan;
your coach is worse than Keegan.
I can't remember if I sighed when I watched our Jason score the try.
But something made me howl with pride
the day the Aussies cried.
Say bye bye; go and eat humble pie. Always beat you when we meet you.
It's no word of a lie. and England boys will drink their beer through
the night singing "Aussie rugby union is sh*te". "Aussie rugby
union is
sh*te".
We stick to the book of rules and we still make Aussies look like fools.
Everybody knows it's true.
And we do believe in ruck and maul While
Aussies always drop the ball and can we teach them how to drop real
goals.
Well I knew that day you wouldn't win cos I saw you training in
the gym.
You lobbed the ball around but you didn't make any ground. Your
were a bunch of useless Wallabies Oh you think you're great but are just
wannabe's.
But I knew you'd be on your knees the day we crushed your
pride.
I started singing; Bye bye, Billy's ours. Gotta gloat: Off to England;
yes, that's ENGLAND. Don't that stick in your throat. and Aussie press
will have to eat what they wrote. Singing "Come on, Campo, give us a
quote". "Come on, Campo, give us a quote".
I met a man called Eddy Jones. His voice was thick with whinging tones.
he just cried and moaned all day.
He claimed the English were a bore but
I'd heard that bullshit years before and the fact was that the Aussies
couldn't play.
On the pitch the English roared. The feeble Aussie pack
was floored. Not a word was spoken.
The Aussie dream was broken. And the
one man that he feared the most, when England took it to their hosts;
He
put the ball right through the posts the day.........the
Aussies.....cried.
And he was singing' Bye bye, so we both got a try. It's so boring when
your scoring against rugby's small fry. And Woodward's boys will drink
their beers through the night singing Kefu, Jones and Gregan are sh*te.
Kefu, Jones and Gregan are sh*te.

and yet anothe verse to add........
by George Holmes
Helter Skelter in the Sydney swelter - Thompson to Moody what a belter,
Eight yards out and flying fast, it found its way to Dawson's grasp,
The Aussies would have tried a forward pass, with Harry on the sidelines
smoking g....s,
Now the Telstra air was sweet perfume,
Us English sang a marching tune,
We all got up to dance, the Aussies never had a chance,
Cause Johnny went and took the field, at 17-20 the Aussies had to yield,
Do you recall what was revealed, the day the Aussies cried.

Song Sung to the tune of Born in the USA
We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies,
We’re the world champs, we beat the wallabies,
Went down there to Sydney Town
The last kick we took was when we won the crown
Green and gold crying tears of shame
The rugby union world will never be the same
That night as the evening fell
The game kicked off, we all started to yell
Cheered the team that were, dressed in White
In the end, the result was right
We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies,
We’re the world champs, we beat the wallabies,
We’ve know, what its, like to loose
Forgot our sorrows, drowned them in booze
But now we’re the number one
Just like we live under a permanent sun
We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies, We beat the wallabies,
We’re the world champs, we beat the wallabies,
