We're the pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Crows
We're courageous, stronger, faster
And respected by our foes
Admiration of the nation
Our determination shows
We're the pride of South Australia
We're the mighty Adelaide Crows.

We give our best from coast to coast
Where the story will be told
As we fight the rugged battle
The flag will be our own
Our skill and nerve will see us through
Our commitment ever grows
We're the pride of South Australia
 We're the mighty Adelaide Crows.
