Wait wait wait. With all the champions they like to send up. The champions from Lalor & Bendigo (Kouta, Southby), that get sent up to the Carlton firsts. Where they keep their end up (hold up their end of the bargain through hard work)



All is right with the world again

And those same champions will know that they’ve been playing against the famous old dark blues?

We are the Navy Blues. We are the old, dark, Navy Blues. We’re the team that never lets you down. We’re the only team all Carlton knows. With all the champions they like to send up, we’ll keep our end up and they will know that they’ve been playing against the famous, old, dark, Blues.

I like it.

It has swagger.

My favourite bits are

"Dha-dha-dha ...daa!"

"we are the navy blues"- sounds strong, boastful.

"With......all" - I like that change in note and how it hovers on With.....

Maybe an accompanying song based on Harry McKay kicking goals would be nice.

He's Harry, He's Harry, He's kicked another...and you're * all scum" something cheerful for the kids like that.
There is a bit to work on.

* "you're" - being anyone who is not of the navy blue persuasion.

He's Harry, He's Harry, He's kicked another ...and your team is nothing but parasitic worms."

something that 6 year olds can sing along to and feel uplifted by.

Who can recall when da-da - duh duh first started.

I think I know but am curious to hear other views.

It’s a great song.

Who cares what it’s about?

Dylan, Cohen, Bowie, Yorke, Tweedy...

Who the @#$%&! knows what they’re on about half of the time but it doesn’t matter.

Art is personal interpretation.

Sometimes the meaning is between the lines.

Just sing it @#$%&! loud after every game and I’ll be happy.
