Victorious NSW State of Origin stars have belted out their new team song as they launched into wild celebrations after their historic victory over Queensland on Wednesday night - and Maroons fans will not be happy with the lyrics.
The Blues' heroic 14-4 win over Queensland at Suncorp marked only their third win in a series decider in Brisbane from 13 attempts.
It also secured the Blues just their fifth series victory in 19 years, and denied Queensland a third straight series crown in one of the greatest Origin games ever played.
In the sheds straight after the team won the shield, Blues star Stephen Crichton led the team in the new R-rated victory song at top volume. Here are the lyrics...
NEW TEAM SONG
'You talked a lot of s**t with your mouth.
'With your mouth.
'But we're the boys in Blue, New South.
'New South.
'Where is Queensland? We can't see ya.
'We can't see ya.
'Blues stand up, let me hear ya.
'Let me hear ya.
'Let me hear ya.
'Let me hear ya.
'Let me hear ya.'
The Blues made history with only their third win in a series decider in Brisbane - kicking off wild celebrations in the dressing rooms
The side debuted their new team victory song after the classic victory at Suncorp Stadium - and the first line of the tune is R-rated
NRL icon Phil Gould has previously revealed that the Blues had to axe their old team song because the lyrics were so rude the side would've been in trouble if it was played on television.
'The old team song you couldn't sing with all the TV cameras and microphones in the room,' Gould revealed on his Six Tackles with Gus podcast in 2018.
'It wasn't all that savoury but it certainly got you going.
'I think in this day and age everyone likes to celebrate in the dressing room with a song. If you have your victory, it's just that atmosphere in the room and you feel like you've got to do something.'
After game two in Melbourne, Blues winger Brian To'o led the team in a rendition of the the famous old jingle used by one of their sponsors, Tooheys New beer.
Stars including Dylan Edwards, prop Payne Haas, centre Latrell Mitchell, halfback Mitchell Moses, utility Connor Watson and backrower Angus Crichton absolutely murdered the famous 'I feel like a Tooheys' tune.
That was repeated at Suncorp on Wednesday night when Andrew Johns walked into the sheds to interview the players as Jarome Luai led the singing while smashing out a beat on the lid of an esky.
He first spoke to Connor Watson and asked him, 'What do you feel like?'
'One of these!' Watson replied as he held up a can of lager.
'Joey' then whipped around the dressing room to get reactions from the ecstatic stars.
'Best ever, Joey. Best experience of my life,' said Mitch Barnett, who might have some explaining to do to his wife given she recently gave birth to their second child.

Johns - whose jacket had a fair amount of beer on it - caught up with halfback Mitchell Moses, who had just learned his season was over after he ruptured his right biceps muscle.
Holding his Tooheys with his injured arm, he said: 'Best ever. Mate, you know how it feels, come up here and win a decider at Suncorp, in their backyard. It doesn't get much better.'
Johns was the last halfback to steer his side to a series-deciding win in Brisbane back in 2005.
'You dream about those moments. I've lived it out that many times in my dreams it's not funny and to be able to live that moment and [have] it come true is the best feeling ever.'
