[edit] Avenel Swans Club Song
"See the Swannies fly up, up, to win the premiership flag,
Our boys who play this grand old game,
Are always striving for glory and fame,
To see the Swannies fly up, up, up,
The other teams they don't fear,
They all try their best,
But they can't get near,
As the Swannies fly up!"
