Team Song
The current song is labelled "Rooster Man", a revamp of the original tune Macho Man performed by the Village People. However the traditional club song, "Here come the Roosters", favoured by many of the traditional fans, goes as follows:
- Easts know how to play the game, they play it hard and fair,
- Easts know how to win the game, they win more than their share.
- They're great to see in action, these boys who show the way,
- Put the Roosters on the field, they'll show you how to play.
- Here come the Roosters, the best we've ever seen,
- The red, white and bluesters, the Eastern Suburbs team.
- "Easts to win" shout the cry that everybody knows,
- If you play this football game beware the Roosters crow.
- They're great to see in action, these boys who show the way,
- Put the roosters on the field, they'll show you how to play.
- Here come the Roosters, the best we've ever seen,
- The red, white and bluesters, the Eastern Suburbs team.

Famous quotes containing the words team and/or song:
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“There’s something wonderfully exciting about the quiet sing song of an aeroplane overhead with all the guns in creation lighting out at it, and searchlights feeling their way across the sky like antennae, and the earth shaking snort of the bombs and the whimper of shrapnel pieces when they come down to patter on the roof.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
