East Perth Forever Boys

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

East Perth Forever Boys is the theme song of the East Perth Football Club, played as the league team comes to the field at either a home game or final, and after a victory at a home game or final. It is sung to the tune of Anchors Aweigh

The lyrics were written by John K Watts, an ex-player of the club. He was also responsible for the club songs of Swan Districts Football Club and Geelong Football Club.

The recording of the song used by the club was performed by Clem Grogan and the Blue Brass.

Hobart Football Club also has a song sung to the tune of Anchors Aweigh. Its lyrics are very similar to East Perth Forever Boys.

(To the tune of Anchors Aweigh)

East Perth forever boys

East Perth are we

East Perth a great tradition

With the premiership our mission

East Perth forever boys

And to the cause

For we are the mighty Royals

East Perth is the greatest team of all

We'll beat the Cardies

Whether it be wet or fine

We'll beat the others

At the bell they'll be behind

No doubt about it

The reason for it

East Perth forever boys

East Perth are we

East Perth a great tradition

With the premiership our mission

East Perth forever boys

And to the cause

For we are the mighty Royals

East Perth is the greatest team of all
