Riding The Severn Bore

 


They're riding up the Severn on a 4 star wave
Something to do that is only for the brave
Surfboards, Jet Ski's Zodiacs and boats
Riding up the river on anything that floats.

That big old muddy, Severn is the motivator
The tide turns it over, like a giant rotovator
Riding up the river, riding for the glory
Whatever happens it'll make a good story

Roaring up the river like a hungry animal
That big old muddy river ain't no flat canal
Crashing up the riverbank sounding like an army tank
The mighty Severn Bore makes its way inland

That big old muddy, Severn is the motivator
The tide turns it over, like a giant rotovator
Riding up the river, riding for the glory
Whatever happens it'll make a good story

Thousands line the riverbank cheering on their heroes
Hoping that they don't turn from heroes into zeroes
Mile after mile they ride on the mighty one
Heading for Gloucester to the end of the run

That big old muddy, Severn is the motivator
The tide turns it over, like a giant rotovator
Riding up the river, riding for the glory
Whatever happens it'll make a good story

You can tell that story for the rest of your life
How you rode Sabrina, harder than your wife
Sabrina is the Queen, the power and the glory
She's so beautiful, even if she's hoary.

That big old muddy, Severn is the motivator
The tide turns it over, like a giant rotovator
Riding up the river, riding for the glory
Whatever happens it'll make a good story

Riding up the river, riding for the glory
Riding up the river, riding for the glory
