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.
