It’s Origin time again,
This series that starts in May...
It’s Blues against Maroons,
With three huge big games to play...
Queensland are the favourites,
They are hungry to compete...
But the Blues are out for blood,
They want to knock us off our feet...
Mal and Ricky have picked their teams,
With seventeen men a side...
There here to play some footy,
For the honour and the pride...
Cameron Smith, is Qld’s captain,
A job which makes him proud...
As he inspires his fellow team,
And the vocal Queensland crowd...
Paul Gallen is the other bloke,
Who leads the Blues in this great fight...
New South Wales are the underdogs,
They are out to set things right...
Qld want to win this series,
They’re out to make it seven...
I bet you those blokes will smile ,
Up there in Origin heaven...
80 minutes of football,
With the blood sweat and tears...
It will be the greatest game,
That we will see in years...
So grab your mates let’s party,
Wear some Maroon or Blue...
Shout and cheer show your support,
Your state is calling you...
