Seems like an appropriate time for a re-issue of this particular seasonal classic #rowinglyrics
FAIRYTALE OF BARNES BRIDGE (with apologies to The Pogues)
It was Scullers Head babe
On the Tideway
An old man said to me, please spin around this buoy
And then he told me just
To tap it round on red
I turned my boat away
And checked my gate threads

A special new entry, written just for @ThamesTradesmen. About as much practical use as 'Thoughts & Prayers' of course but if it only raises a smile... #rowinglyrics#rowingfamily
THE ROW MUST GO ON (with apologies to Queen)
Empty boat racks, what are we training for?
Abandoned races, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know who we are looking for?
Another zero, another faceless man
Behind the curtain, of the ‘masterplan’
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore?
