The Convict Song - Barmy Army fans in the Ashes Hollies, Edgbaston

Lyrics
We’re the right side, we’re the right side, we’re the right side over here
We’re the middle, we’re the middle, we’re the middle over here
We’re the left side, we’re the left side, we’re the left side over here
You’re the convicts, you’re the convicts, you’re the convicts over there!!!

As an Australian, I really love how they chant "you are the CONVICTS you are the CONVICTS" with such conviction. Good shit 👍🤣
