Gybe ho

by Rachel F and Rachel M
Entry in the song competition, 1994. Didn't win it, but was used to break a dead tie in the overall week's competition!
Gybe ho! Mind your head,
Did you hear what skipper said?
Hey you there - hoist the sail
And you get on your knees and bail
Sail! Into the lees, into the trees,
And stuff the cruisers up the mudbank
We quant through green and slimy things,
We row round and round in rings
We get stuck in the loos,
'Cos we're the Harriers/Mallards/Kestrels cruise.
