There are twenty two manne in [bad word] team today
1 to 8 the vories, 9 to 15 agterlyn, 
Sixteen to twenty two the manne on the bench
But someone tough is missing, someone famous and intense
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span
Every Saturday at the game, pak hy alles wat hy kan
Brannas, Nartjie, sy kitaartjie, gasbraai, boerewors en bun
And he shouts vol uit sy bors uit “I am here for you my span”
And the team shouts “Player 23 we are here for you ou Jan”
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span
 [bad word] 
22 Manne in [bad word] squad
But the 23rd oke is the genuine stud
His name is Jan, he’s every team’s dream
Player 23 there’s a Jan for every team

His locker is a sacred space to where ou [bad word] And there he puts his signed picture “groete van ou Jan”
Spot him at the supermarket, hoop maar hy’s ‘n sport
as he signed his bum Kankowski said “im never gonna stort”
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span
Waiting for his turn to gooi, Jan’s stick goes in the trash
But Schalkie grabs the precious prize and ads it to his stash
At the shoestore Jan is posing in his bright new orange crocs
And the okes can hardly wait to replace [bad word] togs
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span
 [bad word] 
22 Manne in [bad word] squad
But the 23rd oke is the genuine stud
His name is Jan, he’s every team’s dream
Player 23 there’s a Jan for every team

The manne from the WP, en die Bulle sommer ok,
The Cheetahs, Lions, Haaie, and our boys called the Boks.
When [bad word] onto the field, they all check the stands,
To find their inspiration, that hero of a man.
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span
With vlaggies, face paint and his voice, and waves in between,
He pumps up their performance, he makes them really mean.
He scares the opposition, he’s the fly in their slaai,
Whenever Jan is cheering, you know their gonna cry.
Jan, Jan, Jan hy’s die soul van die span

22 Manne in [bad word] squad
But the 23rd oke is the genuine stud
His name is Jan, he’s every team’s dream
Player 23 there’s a Jan for every team x 2
