SONG LYRICS

The Pubcrawl song (to the tune of 'We will rock you' by Queen)

Scotty you´re the man make a big noise
This is your team gonna be a big team some day
We got mud on our face
The black ´n yellow race
Going superhero all over the place

We are we are the Warriors
And we are on the Pubcrawl

Graham you´re a big man true man
Coaching with Roy gonna make us be champs some day
We got studs on our face
The black ´n yellow race
Singing our songs all over the place

We are we are the Warriors
And we are on the Pubcrawl

Ben you´re a young man hard man
Screwing the nut gonna make us work hard all day
We got blood on our face
The black ´n yellow race
The Finnish champions two thousand and eight

We are we are the Warriors
And we are on the Pubcrawl

Tali fields back home (to the tune of 'Cotton fields (back home)' by CCR or Johnny Cash)

If I was a little back line player, the forwards would ruck me around the pitch,
In them old, Tali fields back home,
If I was a little pretty player, the forwards would ruck me around the pitch,
In them old, Tali fields back home,

And ´cause my rugby balls get knocked on I can´t play very much touch or
contact, o-on them Tali fields back home,
It was down in Munkkivuori, just about a mile from the school of Frenchies,
In them old, Tali fields back home,

If I was a little back line player, the forwards would ruck me around the pitch,
In them old, Tali fields back home,
It was down in Munkkivuori, just about a mile from the school of Frenchies,
In them old, Tali fields back home,

And I have to fix my hair and, look cool to keep the girls staring,
In them old Tali fields back home,
It was down in Munkkivuori, just about a mile from the school of Frenchies,
In them old, Tali fields back home,

Kun mä taklaan (to the tune of 'Kun mä kuolen' by Junnu Vainio)

Kun mä taklaan tuntee voimani sä saat,
Kun mä taklaan tuntee voimani sä saat,
Luulet jääväs alle junan, kutistuvan huomaat munan,
Kun mä taklaan tuntee voimani sä saat!

Ruckissakin tuntee voimani sä saat,
Ruckissakin tuntee voimani sä saat,
Meidän pojat yli puskee,  housuus jää vain vana ruskee,
Ruckissakin tuntee voimani sä saat

Kun me juodaan lasin tarjota sä saat,
Kun me juodaan lasin tarjota sä saat,
Kaatuu kurkkuun täydet maljat, whiskyt champanjat ja kaljat,
Kun me juodaan lasin tarjota sä saat!

Illan tullen nähdä charmini sä saat,
Illan tullen nähdä charmini sä saat,
Hieman myski saattaa haista, silti aina saamme naista (/Kun on saatu hyvät nousut, tytöillä jo kastuu housut,)
Illan tullen nähdä charmini sä saat,

Kun me tullaan tuntee Warriorsin saat,
Kun me tullaan tuntee Warriorsin saat,
Pojat Tampereen ja Turun, muistaa tappion ja surun,
Kun me tullaan tuntee Warriorsin saat!

Molly Malones

In Dublin's fair city, where the girls are so pretty
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She was a fishmonger and sure it was no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they both wheeled their barrows through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

She died of a fever and no one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Now her ghost wheels her barrow through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!
A-live a-live O! A-live a-live O!
Crying cockles and mussels alive a-live O!

Valtteri "Vallu" Valtia (to the tune of 'Rudolph the Red-nosed Raindeer') - inspired by Vallu´s performance in Tampere

Muistat Finelin, Nätin ja Jaakonkin varmaan
ja Jussin ja Stun ja Scotinkin harmaan,
mutta bäkki tää sulta useinkin unhohon jää . . .
Valtteri "Vallu" Valtia oli bäkki nimeltään.
Ollut ei Vallu huono, kun ruvettiin taklaamaan
Haukkuivat toiset illoin, lyhyeksi pilkaten;
tuosta vain saikin silloin, valmentaja aattehen:
Rugbymatsi rankka on,  taisto armoton
Valtteri vois näyttää, kuinka liha lihan pysäyttää,
Valtteri siitä asti sentteriä pelaten
Taklaa niin raivoisasti, joukkueemme voittohon!

The Helsinki Warriors' Song (to the tune of the ‘Yellow Submarine’ by the Beatles)

In the town of Helsinki
There’s a team in black and gold
And we’ll tell you of the life
Of rugby players young and old.
Rugby is the game we love
And we play with all our might
When we’re on the field of play
We won’t give up without a fight
(Chorus)
We all play for a black and gold team
A black and gold team, a black and gold team
We all play for a black and gold team
A black and gold team, a black and gold team
Yes we are the Warriors
And we come from far and wide
But there’s one thing we all share
To be a Warrior is our pride
We all play for a black and gold team
A black and gold team, a black and gold team
We all play for a black and gold team
A black and gold team, a black and gold team

What shall we do with a drunken Warrior (to the tune 'Drunken Sailor')

What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
early on the game day
give him a beer, a proper breakfast
ruck hard, amasing kickstart
scrum down, what a warmup
early on a game day
What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
What shall we do with a drunken Warrior
Early on the game day
kit on, The Warriors are calling
knock on, The Warriors are mauling
a box kick, for the back line players
brilliant try for the first half
WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW
Early on the game day
Line out and up he raises
Maul hard for ten yards
pass on the game ball
brilliant try for the first half
WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW
Middle on the game day
second half a story of glory
you hear the enemies moaning
great pass, for the strongest forward
brilliant try for the Warriors
WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW, WSWDWDW
Late on the game day
Third half and pints are rising
you hear the Warriors singing
all smiles and girls are willing
The Warriors are feasting
