DO THEY KNOW IT'S WALTON HEAD?
( Actually,I'm not apologising to Bandaid, because they inflicted the original on us - and it's much worse)

It's Walton Head
There's no need to be afraid
At Walton head, you'll queue for hours and then break a blade
But in the fourth divison when you race at Senior two
Steer your boat around the bends at Walton Head

But say a prayer

Pray for the novice crew
At Walton head it's hard, but when you're pushing through
There's a boat around the corner
And it's filled with dread and fear
Because only stroke is pulling and the bank is getting near
And the marshals' calls that ring there
Are the desperate calls of doom
Well today thank God it's them instead of you

And the only thing they'll gain is hypothermia
The only thing their coach can do is hide
(Oooh) Cause none of them can row
The boat is really slow
Do they know it's Walton Head at all

(Here's to you) heading for a certain crash
(Here's to them) out of time on every catch
Do they know it's Walton head at all

Stay at home, Stay at home, Stay at home
They shouldn't race at Walton Head again

Stay at home
Shouldn't race at Walton head again
Stay at home
Shouldn't race at Walton head again
Stay at home
Shouldn't race at Walton head again
Stay at home
Shouldn't race at Walton head again
