Logs and Shanties

I could have sailed all day
I could have sailed all day
And still have begged for more
I could have spread my sails
As through a thousand gales
Though I'd never sailed before

I never knew what made it so exciting
Why, all at once my yacht took flight
I only know when she
Began to gybe on me
I could have sailed, sailed, sailed
All night...

I appreciate mate
It's all been great, mate
But now it's time for bed...

Bed! Bed! I couldn't go to bed
The cabin's too small to try and stretch at all
Sleep! Sleep! I couldn't sleep tonight
I've got such an itchy mozzie bite!

I could have towed all day
I could have towed all day
And never tired at all
I could have pulled those oars
Defying nature's laws
Until the commie's call...

I never knew it could be so exhausting
Why all at once my arms were dead
I only know if you
Said 'Come Ashore!' now too
I would have rowed, rowed, rowed
Instead...

I could have mopped all day
I could have mopped all day
Port, starboard, bow and stern
I could have made her gleam
As though it were a dream
For cleanliness I yearn

I never knew it could be so delightful
Why all at once the yacht looked sleek
The mop left not one bit
Of all those banks we hit
I could have mopped, mopped, moppped
All Week!!

Allegro con vivo, con moto et con carne

CHORUS:
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and stop that yawning, yawning
Harriers on the Broads

1. God said to Morgan go build me a cruisey, cruisey
God said to Morgan go build me a cruisey, cruisey
Build it out of people you can usey
Harriers on the Broads

2. The team they arrived recruited in twosy, twosies
The team they arrived recruited in twosy, twosies
Skippers, Mates we're not that choosy, choosy
They just get ignored

Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and stop that yawning, yawning
Harriers on the Broads

3. The crew came to Hunter's by car and trainy, trainies
The crew came to Hunter's by car and trainy, trainies
Bags so full they needed craney, cranies
To get their stuff on board

4. Remember when sailing to give way to clueless cruisers
Remember when sailing to give way to clueless cruisers
Just cause they're a bunch of losers, losers
Drunken on the Broads

Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and stop that yawning, yawning
Harriers on the Broads

5. Harriers when tacking must watch out for angry anglers
Harriers when tacking must watch out for angry anglers
They know they'll get their lines in tangles, tangles
Fishing on the Broads

6. Every half hour the crew wants a cakey breaky
Every half hour the crew wants a cakey breaky
Good job that our mums can bakey, bakey
Munchies for the Broads

Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and stop that yawning, yawning
Harriers on the Broads

7. If we get stuck on a mud bank we feel remorseful
If we get stuck on a mud bank we feel remorseful
Fortunately we are quite resourceful
Quanting on the Broads

8. After we've eaten we squash in for Logs and Shanties
After we've eaten we squash in for Logs and Shanties
Songs of quality are scanty, scanty
Singing on the Broads

Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and take off the awning, awning
Rise and shine and stop that yawning, yawning
Harriers on the Broads

9. We go to our cabins in order to snoozey, snoozey
We go to our cabins in order to snoozey, snoozey
Wake the Skipper if you need the loosy... YAWN!
Sleeping on the Broads
