Popular Rowing Songs Over The Years
(1994) SATURDAY (sung to the tune of Yesterday) Saturday... All my troubles seemed so far away, Now I'm rowing on the Tamsui, Oh I can't wait--for Saturday. Suddenly... Tamsui water's washing over me, This will surely be the end of me, The Tamsui River--is killing me. Why I chose to row I don't know I couldn't say. I think Something's wrong How I long, For Saturday... Saturday... Now I've found a place to hide away, From Lene's drumming and the Tamsui, My bed is soft, And here I'll stay. Why I have to row I don't know I couldn't say. Getting up at 6:00 Is a switch, But let's go play... What a farce... My back is sore and I can't feel my arse, But we're looking good and we've got class, And when we win, We'll drink a glass. And when we win, We'll drink a glass. ************************************************** (1994) By Matt Lewis Rowing hard all morning long! Tamsui (Jilong) River tebie zang! (基隆 River 特別髒!) Pulling hard & looking mean! Jia you (Kick ASS) Shi Da dragon boat team! ************************************************** (1994) JUST A'ROWING DOWN THE STREAM (sung to the tune of Do Wah Diddy Diddy) Here we are just a'rowing down the stream, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! We're the Shi Da women's dragon boat team, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! We're hot (We're hot)! We're in pain (We're in pain)! We're hot, we're in pain, and we're hoping it won't rain! The Tamsui River's just a splashing in my eyes, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! It smells like trash all covered up with flies, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! We shut our mouth (Shut our mouth)! Close our eyes (Close our eyes)! Shut our mouth, close our eyes, if we swallow we may die! Lene's busy just a'pounding on her drum, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! She won't let us stop, though our arms are very numb, Singing doo-wa-diddy, diddy-dum-diddy-doo! Our butts hurt (Our butts hurt)! Our arms are sore (Our arms are sore)! Our butts hurt, our arms are sore, we can't paddle any more! ************************************************** (1994) I say, Tian zhemma hei! (天這麼黑!) Feng zhemma da! (風這麼大!) Baba bu yu qu! (Qu!) (爸爸捕魚去!) Weishemma! (Weishemma?) (為甚麼?) Hai bu hui jia!! (還不回家!!) ************************************************** (1995) I want to be an air force ranger! (I want to be an air force ranger!) I want to live a life of danger! (I want to live a life of danger!) I want to row in the Tamsui (Jilong) river! (I want to row in the Tamsui (Jilong) river!) ************************************************** (1995) BITAN FAREWELL by L.F. Lee (sung to the tune of Jamaica Farewell) Down by the shore where the smell is strong, And the rain pours daily on the Tamsui (Jilong) top! I took a row, In a dragon boat, And when I reached the dead dog I made a stop! Well I'm, Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be rowing, for many a day, My heart is down, my head is turning around I wish I could be back rowing at Bitan! Out on the river you can hear, Sounds of paddling while in their hands they bear, Oars of wood, Oh, I'm blistered good, How I wish to stop, but I do not dare! Well I'm, Sad to say, I'm on my way, Won't be rowing, for many a day, My heart is down, my head is turning around I wish I could be back rowing at Bitan! ************************************************** (1995) EMPTY DRAGON BOAT by L.F. Lee (sung to the tune of Yellow Submarine) In the town where I would row, Stood a man up on the shore; He would yell out lots of rules: "Don't go past the bridge, you bloody fools!" We all rowed in an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat! We all rowed in an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat! So we rowed on through the rain, Everyone of us in lots of pain, River of blue and sky of gray Going to be like this, everyday! We all rowed in an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat! We all rowed in an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat, an empty dragon boat! ************************************************** (1996) Yao suan suan (腰痛痛) Yao suan suan (腰痛痛) Pi gu tong tong (屁股痛痛) Pi gu tong tong (屁股痛痛) Hai xu yao hua...
