Laser Sailing Song

Sam Chapin over at How to Sail the Laser has suggested as a Laser fleet-building idea that we should "write a Laser sailing song."

Hmmm. Now there's a thought.

Anyone want to have a go at writing a Laser sailing song?

Or failing that, any suggestions for a song that I could write a parody of and turn it into the official Laser sailing song?

What do ye do with a Laser sailor?
What do ye do with a Laser sailor?
What do ye do with a Laser sailor ...
Earleye in the mornin'?


CHORUS: Hoo-reye, an' up she rises,
Hoo-reye, an' up she rises,
Hoo-reye, an' up she rises,
Earleye in the mornin'.

Make 'im do reps on his hiking be-ench,
Make 'im do reps on his hiking be-ench, etc. and so forth ...
Earleye in the mornin'.


REPEAT CHORUS

Force 'im to choke down Uncrustabu-uls ... etc.

REPEAT CHORUS

Make 'im go sailing against "those gu-uys," etc.

Give 'im a great sailing bay in Rhode Island, etc.

(At this point, I invite all readers to contribute their own verses to this project. Together, we can make a fine sea chantey.)

Finally ...

Give 'im a blog, so he can be heard,
Give 'im a blog, so he can be heard,
Give 'im a blog, so he can be heard,
Earleye in the mornin'.


Just a thought ...

Thanks Carol Anne. Love it. I've just posted another one myself and I see that another lady sailor has sent me several suggestions via email.

Keep 'em coming.

Crash one out,
Coming about,

Repeat until your coach tells you to shut up.
