The entire chant is:
"Who dat? Who dat? Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints? Who dat!"
A little more history on the chant.
Congratulations, New Orleans Saints! Goin' to the Super Bowl! (though wow, Brett Favre is our local boy and Archie Manning is a long-time family friend. this couldn't be more exciting.)

We're watching the game now! :) My hubby, David, is originally from Patterson. We live in Germany, and the game was until almost 2 AM our time last night.
David is sitting here yelling at the screen like he doesn't know who wins...
Way to go, Saints!

Nice! I've been reading some NOLA blogs and novels for awhile, so have knowledge of "who dat" and "yats", but this is new to me. Good stuff!
