That's right! The rest of the lyrics went along the lines of:

Well we all know that this team's a legend
It's the biggest and best, that's understood
So we give our support
To the kings of the sport
So go out and win, Collingwood

There's no team we'd rather see winning
And there's no team that likes winning more
When it's all said and done
And the premiership's won
It's Collingwood for evermore

Good old Collingwood forever
They know how to play the game
Side by side they stick together
To uphold the Magpie's name
See the barracker's are shouting
As all barracker's should
For there's just one team we favour
Good old Collingwood

Supposedly the second last line was altered from "Oh the premiership's a cakewalk" as some deemed it embarrassing as it didn't appear to be a cakewalk post 1958...

Nope. From memory, the player in question kicked either 7 or 8 goals.
