Why, this crew could be spannery,
Muppetry,
Cursed up 3.
Why, it could be Bumps Lightnin'!

We'll start with Patrick in the stroke seat, and
Harry in six, oh yeah.
(We're rushing, yeah we're rushing.)
Rowed it like a spanner, so let's swap them
round, oh yeah.
(Bomber disliked it, Bomber really disliked it.)
With Harry on the rate, we can only have one
fate.
At Bedford we rowed neat, but by Radley we
got beat
in FaT M2.

Go FaT M2, you're cruising down the bumping
course.
Go FaT M2, you're pulling it through with
some force.
The klaxon went, our luck was spent
As FaT M2.

We're making really big changes, then Harry
intermits, oh yeah.
(He intermitted, oh shit he intermitted.)
Put Toby in the stroke seat, it's feeling wobbly,
oh yeah.
(It's down to strokeside, it's always down to
bowside.)
With Rey now sat in four, we'll be knocking on
the door.
We're moving pretty fast, hopefully it's gonna
last For FaT M2

Go FaT M2, you're steaming round the Grassy
turn.
Go FaT M2, you're creeping towards
Pembroke's stern.
Our coaches scream, the ruzz will scream
For FaT M2.

Now Alex not in Cambridge, we need to get a
sub, oh yeah.
(We need a sub, we need so many subs.)
We've got 2 weeks 'til bumps, and five full
outings left, oh yeah.
(Where's Alex, oh where's Alex?)
With success at '9s Regatta, we think
Pembroke we can batter,
But then at Xpress head, they left us there for
dead
As FaT M2.

Go FaT M2, you're starting at 1:23.
Go Fat M2, now Emma really cannot flee.
We rowed like shit, but didn't quit
In FaT M2.

Go FaT M2, you're closing down to just 3 feet.
Go Fat M2, they're really gonna think you're
beat.
Girton get bumped, then Erik chunned
For FaT M2, M2, M2, M2
M2, M2, M2, M2, FaT M2!
