It's been a long while since we fans have had a reason to familiarise ourselves with our team song but I have a feeling this year might be the year we sing our hearts out! In anticipation of such an occasion I'm posting this up for everyone to learn. Hopefully we'll be singing it in Canberra on our way to the 8!
Click Go the Eels;
You'll hear a tremendous roar go up as Parra takes the field,
Just look at the Blue and Gold of the Mighty Eels,
They're running out so fit and strong and kicking up their heels,
If you want to see how football's played then come and see the Eels!
Flick goes the ball from man to man,
They're strong in the tackle and sure with their hands,
They play it hard and fast, that's the only way to win!
And when they post a try up, you should hear the fans all sing!
Good on ya Parra, you're brave and bold!
You're fighting fit and true blue and worth your weight in gold!
And when the other side slowly starts to yield,
We'll raise our voices to the sky and glorify the Eels!

Nice poem, this is surely not the song that the players sing after a win.
Pardon my ignorance, but does anyone have the real version of the players team song??
This is what's published on the Parra Eels web page and distributed in the 2014 Eels Fan Handbook. If anyone knows of a different one then feel free to post it.
never got into this song, it sounds weak as p$#s
much prefer "when the eels are flying, they're electrifying!!!!"
