Matamata Swifts

Matamata Swifts are well alive
A year to celebrate seventy-five
So what’s the happening all about
Oh, come on chaps, let’s give a shout

This year it’s special, we all agree
It’s time to chime and have a spree
A time of past to satisfy
A drink, a cheer, a time to fly.

A team of mighty men are we
Our strength abounds for all to see
Each game we play we give our best
For now it’s not the time to rest

Season 05 has just begun
We have opponents on the run
A game of recent times, we flowed
It was 9-nil, our ending showed.

Our recent past has built us to
This time of reaping revenue
For now we are a mighty team
We give our best, its time to beam.

We have a future, none surpassed
To win or lose it is no farce
It’s how we play the game you see
Because that is the victory

So come on chaps, let’s see this through
Our number is but just a few
Yet we are backed by many others
They are our sisters and our brothers

We are the family of the Swifts
Let's give a shout, a great big lift
For all who wish to join with us
To celebrate – let’s create a fuss

So all the world of football knows
It’s time for us – oh, stone the crows!
Let’s win the Premier – it’s now our turn
It’s time to wear the silver fern!

Let’s raise our glasses to the Club
At seventy-five, we are no rub
Our history says we’re far from gone
We sure deserve to live right on.

It’s now the time for this to end
No longer do we need pretend
We are the best for all to see
Let’s come on home in victory.
