Club song The Labrador Tigers have the same club song as that of the Richmond Tigers based on "Row, Row, Row From Ziegfeld Follies".
Oh we're from Tigerland A fighting fury, we're from Tigerland In any weather you'll see us with a grin Risking head and shin If we're behind then never mind We'll fight and fight and win For we're from Tigerland. We never weaken till the final siren's gone Like the Tiger of old, we're strong and we're bold For we're from Tiger – yellow and black – we're from Tigerland!
