Imagine there's no Henley,
It's easy if you try.
No booms before us,
Above us only sky!
Imagine all the people,
Rowing for today!
Imagine no regattas
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to kill or die for.
No head races too.
Imagine all the people,
Rowing boats in peace!
Imagine no selection,
I wonder if you can.
No need for tests or pieces,
A rowing-crew of man.
Imagine all the people,
Rowing round the world!
You may say I'm a sculler
But I'm not the only one.
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will row as one!
