Put the [opponent] on the top.
Put the Whitecaps in the middle
And we'll burn the bloody lot.

2. EXCURSION TO THE ISLAND

'Cause the Lake Side Buoys are singing.
And you all can sing along!

Just be the one to sing a thousand songs,
And hear the Lake Side Roar!

We love footie and we love beer!
Whoah-oh, oh-oh, oooh.

Can you hear the [opponent] sing?
I can’t hear a bloody thing!
Woah-oh, oh-oh, oooh.

8. YOU TAKE THE LONG LINE


(tune: Loch Lomond)
You take the long line, and I’ll take the short line,
And I’ll have my beer, before you;
For beer is my true love, and cheering on the lads,
From the bonnie, bonnie banks, of the Lake Side.

We’ll be coming, we’ll be coming, we’ll be coming
down the road;
When you hear the noise of the Lake Side Buoys,
We’ll be coming down the road.
We’ll be drinking, we’ll be drinking, we’ll be drinking
on the bus;
We’ll be zap-strapped, we’ll be zap-strapped, we’ll be
zap-strapped in the tank;
Community service, community service, community
service for the team;
Yankee U-Boats, Yankee U-Boats, Yankee U-Boats at
the bridge;
There'll be donuts, there'll be donuts, there'll be
donuts on the bus;


Our older and More Highlanders Specific
SONG SHEET


Songs are usually sung through four times. Someone at the front of the group will show with upraised fingers what “time” of the song is currently being sung, to aid with cohesion. Some short chants are repeated eight times. Some songs are controlled by the piper / drummer / whistler: when he stops piping / drumming / whistling, the song ends. Some songs are sung for a minute.
