[VALJEAN] One Div more Another day, we’re now in Eight-O-Three This never-ending river to Div Three The men behind us want to climb Will Petr ever come on time? One Div more
[MARIUS] We were not sat at all today How can we row now Josh has parted?
[VALJEAN] One Div more
[MARIUS & COSETTE] We’ve got a race a week away And Petr’s here, our spoons have started
[EPONINE] One more spoons M2 shall own
[MARIUS & COSETTE] Will we ever bump again?
[EPONINE] One more year with us not bumping
[MARIUS & COSETTE] Do we need to row full crew?
[EPONINE] By First Post we will have blown
[MARIUS & COSETTE] Can we drop out bow and two?
[EPONINE] And they never saw me square
[ENJOLRAS] One more Div for us to fall
[MARIUS] Do I follow Mihkel’s stroke?
[ENJOLRAS] So I’m going to a conf’rence
[MARIUS] No, I think I’ll finish there
[ENJOLRAS] Two weeks off for your exams
[MARIUS] Missed the catch; forgot to square
[ENJOLRAS] Will you row in time with me?
[ALL] The timing’s gone, our spoons are here
<<CHANGE TO ‘THE CONFRONTATION’>>
[FaT] Oh shit, Clare’s fast, They’ve pushed, we’ve crabbed, they’ve gained That’s overlap Now’s time to feel the pain
[CLARE] We’re gonna bump// you, FaT M2 We’re gonna bump
[FaT] We will push you back We’ve held you off along the reach Crews like you can never bump A crew like Clare Two.
| [CLARE] | [FaT] |
| Your start is fast, but you’re weak | Crews like you can never bump |
| We’re gonna bump up, into Div Two | Crews like you can never bump |
| Why can’t our bow hit your stern? | No, you’ll stay in Div Three |
[FaT] And we’ll do it thrice again They had bet on us to fail Two weeks off saw us improve No more spoons for FaT M2!
<<CHANGE BACK TO ‘ONE DAY MORE’>>
[VALJEAN] One year more
[JAVERT] One year more till we bump Maggie We will hear their stern go thud And who cares for rower schoolboys? They will wet our bows with blood
[VALJEAN] One year more
[M. & MME. THENARDIER] Watch their stern get struck Bump 'em as they fall They won’t know they’re fucked Till they see our bow ball Here comes our bumps push There a little ‘touch’ They’ll be hit by Grassy So they won't row much
| [ALL (2 Groups)] | |
| [1:] One year till M2 starts winning | |
| [2:] Raise the flag of lions high | |
| [1:] FaT M2 will soon get blades | |
| [2:] FaT M2 will soon get blades | |
| [1:] There's a headship for the winning | |
| [2:] There's a headship to be won | |
| [ALL] It still counts if it’s Div Three |
[MARIUS] Our day will come, we’re still Div Two
[VALJEAN] One Div more
| [MARIUS & COSETTE] | [JAVERT] | [M. & MME. THENARDIER] |
| We were not sat at all today | We will bump their tiny coxes | Watch their stern get struck |
| [EPONINE] One more spoons M2 shall own | We will chase them till they blow | Bump 'em as they fall |
| [MARIUS & COSETTE] How can we row now Josh has parted? | They will learn that they must fear us Like they did ten years ago | Here comes our bumps push There a little ‘touch’ |
[VALJEAN] One year more
| [MARIUS & COSETTE] | [JAVERT] | [M. & MME. THENARDIER] |
| The crews in front are miles away | One year more till we bump Maggie | Watch their stern get struck Bump 'em as they fall |
| [EPONINE] By First Post we will have blown | We will hear our bows go thud | They won’t know they’re fucked |
| [MARIUS & COSETTE] When Petr came, our spoons had started | And who cares for rower schoolboys? | Till they see our bow ball |
[VALJEAN] So next year we’ll be back for Mays So next year we’ll bump every day
[ALL] So next year we’ll recover What we lost when M2 spooned before No more spoons One more Div One Div more
