Club Song
da da da da da da da da daaaaaWe are the Desert Peas,
We are the old Sturt Desert Peas,
We're the team that never lets you down,
We are the team from Adelaide Town.
We are the Champions,
We play the game hard,
Our foes are on guard,
And they all know they've been playing -
Against the Mighty Adelaide Peas.
