The Pride of Brisbane Town is a song based on the tune of "La Marseillaise" (the French national anthem), and is the theme song of the Brisbane Lions, a team in the Australian Football League.

[edit] Lyrics

 We are the pride of Brisbane town, 
 we wear maroon, blue and gold,
 We will always fight for victory, 
 like Fitzroy and Bears of old.
 All for one, and one for all, 
 we will answer to the call, 
 Go Lions, Brisbane Lions,
 we'll kick the winning score
 You will hear our mighty roar

[edit] Meaning

The line Fitzroy and Bears of old refers to the 1996 Fitzroy-Brisbane merger, where the Brisbane Bears and Fitzroy Lions merged to form the Brisbane Lions.

The tune and song is based on the song Fitzroy used.
