WAKE ME UP BEFORE YOU GO-ROW
(With apologies to Wham)

You put the lactate into my heart
You make my pulse rate soar with your high powered starts
Power-ten into my brain
Goes a bang-bang-bang 'til my blade does the same
But something's bugging you
Something ain't right
The coxswain told me what you did last night
Left me sleepin' in my bed
I was dreaming, but I should have been at two instead.

Wake me up before you go-row
Don't leave me doing time on the ergo
Wake me up before you go-row
I don't want to miss it when you rate that high
Wake me up before you go-row
'Cause I'm not plannin' on sculling solo
Wake me up before you go-row
Take me rowing tonight
I wanna rate that high (yeah, yeah)

You put the rhythm into the crew
You make the boat run faster than Leander do
Turned a quick catch into a game
My strokes per minute never been the same

'Cause you're my stroke and I'm your two,
It makes me crazy when you act so cruel
Come on, baby, let's not fight
We'll go rowing, everything will be all right

Wake me up before you go-row
Don't leave me doing time on the ergo
Wake me up before you go-row
I don't want to miss it when you rate that high
Wake me up before you go-row
'Cause I'm not plannin' on sculling solo
Wake me up before you go-row
Take me rowing tonight

Wake me up before you go-row, don't you dare to leave me doing time on the ergo
Take me rowing

(Boom-boom-boom)
