We’re a team, what a team
We’re the best you’ve ever seen
We are the boys/girls from Vultureland
While the others keep on trying
We’ll have the flag a flying
Up on Mt Gravatt
We’re the team in the finals
That’s where we will be
Leaving other teams behind us
Amazed at our speed
Blue and White is our pride
And we’ll battle side by side
We are the boys/girls from Vultureland!
