Can a Snake Win a Championship?

“Can a Snake Win a Championship?” is Track 3 of 13 from the album CReology of Cairns. This is my tribute to the pride, pain, and pure belief of Cairns Taipans fans — the team that carries Far North Queensland on its back every season. Since 1999, the Taipans have had the moments, the talent, and the near-misses… including those grand final runs in 2011 and 2015 — but the national title still hasn’t landed in Cairns. This song is equal parts hype and heartbreak: a question shouted into the rafters and whispered on the drive home. Players come and go, legends leave their mark, the faithful keep turning up — because that’s what real fans do. And if a taipan is the deadliest snake in the world… surely one day it can bite down on the biggest prize of all. Bring the ring north. 🏀🐍🏆 🎧 Written & produced by: Michael C. F.

Yeah… 1999, Far North bite. Can a snake win a championship? Verse 1 Born in the heat where the palm trees sway, Concrete court and the tropics play, Green flash, fang snap, quick fast break, City of rain and a title to take. We’ve seen ‘em come and we’ve seen ‘em go— Cattalini heart with the full-body flow, Machado magic, Stewie on fire, Mee with the grit and the wired desire. Pre-Chorus But the banner’s still a ghost in the rafters, 27 years of “maybe after,” Wooden spoon blues and a northern laugh— Still we show up for the second half. Chorus Can a snake win a championship? Can a Taipan take the final trip? Deadliest bite, but the ring won’t fit— Not yet, not yet, not yet. Can a snake win a championship? Skin sheds off but the dream stays lit, Far North faithful, don’t ever quit— Not yet, not yet, not yet. Verse 2 Two times close and the air went thin— '11 came with Ubaka spin, Ron Dorsey thunder, crowd in the red, But the trophy slipped through our fingers instead. '15 hit with that killer grin— Scottie Wilbekin, ice in the skin, Torrey Craig up above the rim, But the gold stayed south, we went home again. Pre-Chorus And the town kept humming, reef to range, Same old hope in a jersey change, Every season like a brand-new vow— We want it now, we want it now. Chorus Can a snake win a championship? Can a Taipan take the final trip? Deadliest bite, but the ring won’t fit— Not yet, not yet, not yet. Can a snake win a championship? Skin sheds off but the dream stays lit, Far North faithful, don’t ever quit— Not yet, not yet, not yet. Bridge Taipan moves like lightning in the long grass, Silent slide with a heart that’s built to last, Strike so fast you don’t see it coming— That’s Cairns when the crowd starts drumming. Marlins taught us how to win that way, Championship taste in the DNA, Foundation poured, now we’re chasing the crown— Whole damn north backing one small town. Verse 3 We’re not Hollywood, we’re humidity, Sweat on the ball, pure community, Underdog anthem in the monsoon roar, We kick that door ‘til it breaks once more. Give me a season with the sting on time, Give me a run with a rhythm and rhyme, If the deadliest snake can’t take that prize— Tell me, what’s danger for, what’s venom for, why? Final Chorus Can a snake win a championship? Can a Taipan take the final trip? Deadliest bite, gonna make it stick— This year, this year, this year. Can a snake win a championship? Twenty-seven years but we still legit, Far North fire, let the whole place rip— This year, this year—TAI-PANS! Outro Shed the skin. Keep the venom. Bring the ring north! Copyright: © 2026 Michael C.
