North Melbourne theme song

Hearts to hearts and hands to hands,
Beneath the Blue and White we stand,
We shout, God bless our native land
North Melbourne, North Melbourne


Out we come, out we come, out we come to play,
Just for recreations sake to pass the time away
Lots of fun, heaps of fun, enjoy yourself today,
North Melbourne's boys are hard to beat, when they come out to play.

"Join in the Chorus" is the official anthem of the North Melbourne Football Club. It is sung to the tune of a Scottish folk song "A wee Deoch and Doris", from around 1911.[5]

The famed song is generally sung, in accordance to common football tradition, after a victory. It is also played before every match.

"Join in the Chorus" is believed to be the oldest club anthem of any AFL club, and has been associated with North from its early VFA days. The preamble of the song originates from a score of a Theatre Musical called 'Australia: Heart to Heart and Hand to Hand" written by Toso Taylor in the 1890s in pre-federation Australia.[6] It is traditionally sung (or shouted) in great spirit by players and fans alike. The second verse is unknown in origin and was presumably added later by members of the North Melbourne Football Club when the song was chosen as the club theme. The chorus was appropriated from a song written and performed by Scottish musician Harry Lauder. The recording currently used by the club was performed by the Fable Singers in 1972 and only includes the choruses.[7]

The song has a strong Victorian heritage, and has been traditionally song by the Victorian State Football and Victorian Cricket teams respectively.
