==Club song==
The Labrador Tigers have the same club song as that of the [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond Tigers]] based on "[[Ziegfeld Follies|Row, Row, Row From Ziegfeld Follies]]".

Oh we're from Tigerland<br />
A fighting fury, we're from Tigerland<br />
In any weather you'll see us with a grin<br />
Risking head and shin<br />
If we're behind then never mind<br />
We'll fight and fight and win<br />
For we're from Tigerland.<br />
We never weaken till the final siren's gone<br />
Like the Tiger of old, we're strong and we're bold<br />
For we're from Tiger – yellow and black – we're from Tigerland!
