THANK YOU FOR THE ROWING
(With apologies to Abba)

I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
When I buy new kit, you've probably seen it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause I keep compression as my catch goes in,
I'm so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the rowing, our bodies swinging
Thanks for how our hands are spinning
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a catch and a drive what are we?
So I say thank you for the rowing
For giving it to me

Mother says I was rowing before I could walk
She says I began to cox long before I could talk
And I've often wondered, how did it all start?
Who found out that nothing can lift up a heart
Like a 2k erg can?
Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say
Thank you for the rowing, our bodies swinging
Thanks for how our hands are spinning
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a catch and a drive what are we?
So I say thank you for the rowing
For giving it to me

I've been so lucky, I am the girl with pewter pot
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a heat, what a race, what a chance!

So I say
Thank you for the rowing, our bodies swinging
Thanks for how our hands are spinning
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a catch and a drive what are we?
So I say thank you for the rowing
For giving it to me
