Cygnet's Old club song
from pre-war days

Around the southern coast of Tassie
There’s a Magpie football team.
They are very very classy
For they train on Cascade Green.
Huonville, Franklin & Kermandie
All have tried to keep us back.
But we’ve got ‘em breezy
We can beat ‘em easy
Come on the Magpies white & black.

We are a premier football team
And every man’s a star.
When we’re not playing football
You’ll find us at the bar.
Our forwards they are nippy
Our backline solid too.
Our wings, our rucks, our rovers
Will show them a thing or two.

The Cygnet boys are happy.
The Cygnet boys are free.
The Cygnet boys are happy.
When they’re out upon a spree.
They never ever quarrel.
They never disagree.
And the password of the Cygnet boys
Is come and have a drink with me.

Cheer boys cheer, we’ll be the premiers.
It’s only now we’re coming into fame.
For we can lick ‘em all around
On their own or any ground.
If they’ll only play
A fair and dinkum game.

One, two, three, the Cygnet boys are we.
Four, Five, Six, we’ve got ‘em in a fix.
Seven, Eight, Nine, we can beat ‘em anytime.
It will be a rough time
In the old town tonight.
