The dip of oars well plied Across Jit shimrg blue, With gnt to keep it going, boys, Will nuike strong men of you. (Chorus.)

Be up and tram your muscles, that we maybe taught There's pleasure and there's profit m our good o'd British sport. As years roll slowly o'er us, And down Life's stream we float, May each one say, with honest pride, " I've brought along my boat.'

Be up, boys, and pulling, in the morning grey, For rowers mustn't idle or bask in blanket liy. Be up and train your rnu<scle=, and then you'll ha'-e p say In keeping up the credit of the N.Z.A.E.A.
