Churchyard Boys, 2002 Canoo Trip put-in

Henceforth, this song is to be song before all Canoo Journeys:

The O'erturned Canoo

lyrics by Dick Acorn

song to the lovely music of our "National Anthem"

Oh! Say can you see!
by the Oer'turned Canoo!
What so gladly we packed
at the put-in's last loading

Whose full beers were ice cold...
in the cooler packed tight
O'er the waves did we crash!
in the drink did we light!

And the ter-ror in there!
The rocks hur-ting us fair!
Gave hope, in our hearts
That our beer might still be near!

O say is our open coo-oo-oo-ler still full?..
In the gra-a-a-and Del-ly!
Or in the hold of our Oer'turned Canoo!
