ROWING IN A PAIR
(With apologies to Bon Jovi)

Once upon the Tyne, not so long ago….

Johnny won a pot at the docks
People are unkind
They say it was luck – that’s rough
So rough

Johnny doesn’t say a great deal
Little eye contact
Don’t know how he feels – he’s tough
So tough

But there’s a reason, believe it or not
He doesn’t use his eyedrops or his toothbrush a lot,
He can’t wear glasses, he’s got no snot – so what?
He rows like a god

Ohhh – he should be dead
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head
Dump the coach, we’ll have him instead,
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head

Johnny used to have a full deck
He rowed under a bridge, the height of his neck
Cut off,
That’s tough

Oddly once his head was removed,
Johnny found his balance and timing,
Both seemed to improve,
Good move..

So looking height-wise he’s not the best
But he has got the mind-set for a great ergo test
We bought him ear-muffs but just in jest – or not..
I would suggest,

Ohhh – he should be dead
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head
To carbo load, we feed him French bread
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head

He’s gonna row on, until he just drops
He can’t hear the claxon to tell him to stop..

Ohhh – he should be dead
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head
Dump the coach, we’ll have him instead,
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head

Ohhh – he should be dead
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head
To carbo load, we feed him French bread
Woah-ohh – Johnny’s got no head…
