The lyrics to the Richmond Football Club Theme song was written in 1962, by Cabaret Singer Jack Malcomson.
Malcomson, a regular performer at the Richmond Football Club's Pleasant Sunday Mornings, was approached by Committeeman to Alf Barnett , to write the song, after the club embarassed themselves on a previous interstate trip, when they had no song to sing.
Oh we’re from Tigerland
A fighting fury we’re from Tigerland
In any weather you will see us with a grin
Risking head and skin
If we’re behind
we’ll never mind
we’ll fight and fight and win
oh where from tigerland
we never weaken til the final siren goes
like the tigers of oldwe’re strong and we’re bold
oh we’re from tiger
-YELLOW AND BLACK-
oh we’re from tigerland
(To the tune of ‘Row, Row, Row’)
This is reputed to be an older song, but does not seem to have had widespread acceptance. It seems to be modelled off Torquay Tigers
We're the boys from Richmond
We're the boys from Tigerland
We proudly wear the yellow and the black
And when it comes to football
We play the same as Tiger Brand
Right from the start We attack, We attack
Onward the Tigers, Onward the Tigers
Eat 'em alive boys and never give in
For the honoured tradition
The glory of old Richmond
We play the game
And we play it to win

Onward the Tigers, Onward the Tigers
We've got the team
And there's nothing it lacks
We've got heart, We've got skill
We've got everything at Tigerland
We are the Tigers
The yellow and the blacks
(Tune of Waltzing Matilda)

I was raised as an Atheist. I learned, after reading the Bible, that God loves me, and you. This is his song for you too. He loves you, and wants to be with you.
