WE'RE RACING THAMES
(With apologies to The Weather Girls)

Wind speed is rising, Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, Egham's the place to go
Cause today for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
We're going to be racing Thames

We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!
We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen! OW!

Wind speed is rising, Barometer's getting low
According to all sources, Egham's the place to go
Cause today for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
We're going to be racing Thames

We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!
We're gonna stride out, not gonna let ourselves get,
Beaten like we did at Met!
We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! And their senior men!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean

God bless Mother Nature, she's a single sculler too
She looked at our 2k scores and she did what she had to do
She got the head coach to rearrange our seats
So that each and every rower could help us win our heat

We're racing Thames!

Spoken: Don't get yourself beaten boy, work hard in your crew.
I-feel-stormy-weather-moving-in
Race about to begin
With-the-thunder-don't-you-loose-your-head.
Rip off the start; leave them for dead!

We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!
We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!

We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!
We're racing Thames! Hallelujah!
We're racing Thames! Amen!

We're racing Thames, We're racing Thames,
We're racing Thames, We're racing Thames,
We're racing Thames, We're racing Thames,
We're racing Thames, We're racing Thames,
