BOWSIDE DOWN
(With apologies to The Stranglers)

Bowside down,
This isn’t fun,
Please tap down,
And let the boat run

Balance not right
Crew starts to fight
Coach wears a frown
Bowside is down

Ev’ry stroke’s
Just like the last
Washing out,
Slides are too fast

Come in to land
Bruised both my hands
Coach wears a frown
Bowside is down

Bowside down,
Lacking finesse,
Others say that we have regressed

It’s hard to say
Can’t see for spray
Coach sobs and frowns
Bowside is down

Coach looks a clown, bowside is down
Coach looks a clown, bowside is down
