Lightweight, there's no need to feel down
I said, Lightweight, pick yourself off the ground
I said, Lightweight, 'cause you’re near Henley town
There's no need to be unhappy
Lightweight, there's a seat here for you
I said, lightweight, in a spirited crew
You can pull hard, and not just in this sport
There are heaps of "pink boys" to court

It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
You can scull in a quad
Watch the national squad
Have a coach who is more like a god

It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
if you like beating fat birds who say 'light means shite'
you can thrash crews with cellulite

Lightweight, Are you listening to me
I said, lightweight, you can sub in at three
I said, lightweight, you could make it at Champs,
but you've got to know this one thing.
No girl, does it all by herself
I said, Lightweight, take your oar off the shelf
And just go there, to the U.T.R.C
Where they can help you believe

It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
They have lots of new boats for young girls to enjoy.
You’ll do better than all the boys.

It's fun to row at the U.T.RC.
It's fun to row at the U.T.RC.
If you get your weight down
Never row with a frown
You can win pots at Henley Town.

Lightweight, if you love eating nowt
I said, Lightweight, when you're out and about
I said Lightweight, don't get stressed up and shout
When those bastards taunt you with buns.
Lightweight, there's a long history
I said Lightweight, here at UTRC
Of those big birds, thunder thighs rubbing raw
Scared of your boat in their draw

It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
It's fun to row at the U.T.R.C.
if you like beating fat birds who say 'light means shite'
you can thrash crews with cellulite
