We're a Happy Team at Hawthorn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We're a happy team at Hawthorn is the official anthem of the Hawthorn Football Club in the Australian Football League.
It is sung to the tune of The Yankee Doodle Boy. VFL teams the Northern Bullants, the Sandringham Zebras and the Box Hill Hawks along with Central District (Centrals) and West Adelaide(Westies) from the SANFL have similar club songs, with the same tune and several familiar lyrics.
[edit] Lyrics
We're a happy team at Hawthorn We're the Mighty Fighting Hawks. We love our club, and we play to win, Riding the bumps with a grin (at Hawthorn). Come what may, you'll find us striving Team work is the thing that talks, One for all and all for one Is the way we are at Hawthorn. We are the Mighty Fighting Hawks.
[edit] Meaning
Riding the bumps refers to the physical act of bumping in Australian rules football. The lyric suggests that the players are tough and that they enjoy playing through pain. One for all and all for one suggests both teamwork and the Australian tradition of mateship. Although not on the official song, the players sometimes sing 4,3,2 before "One for all and all for one"
