LIKE A NOVICE
(With apologies to Madonna)

I made it through the Nationals
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how bad I rowed
Until I found you

I was beat in my heat
I rowed bad, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Part of a crew

Like a Novice
Crabbed for the very first time
Like a Novice
When your strokes are
Out of Time

Gonna show you how to sky, coach
My Slide is moving fast
Been saving it all for you
Just look at my backsplash

Always late, smack my gate
Watch me row, ruin every stroke
Oh you took us out
Yeah, you took us out
And the bow girl got soaked

Like a Novice
Crabbed for the very first time
Like a Novice
When your strokes are
Out of Time

Oooh, oooh, oooh

It's a crime, and it's mine
I'm at four, rowing out of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, I really feel
I'm rushing the slide

Like a Novice
Crabbed for the very first time
Like a Novice
When your strokes are
Out of Time

Like a novice ooh, ooh
Like a novice
With nowhere to hide
Up the rating, and do air strokes, then you drop me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, coach
Can you see me wash out
For the very first time?
