Well done the British cyclists in Beijing
Their wheels on fire, rolling around the ’drome
It made for great live TV, sat watching
The Olympics unfold, off work, at home
Well done to Staff, Kenny and Hoy; that’s some
Achievement, beating the French team to gold
We’ve already done better in our sum
Total of golds than in some Games of old
Talking of which, I remember the Cold
War boycott of Moscow, with Wells winning
The hundred metres, Seb and Steve and Cram
Mary Peters in Munich, when tears rolled
Lasse Viren, and Cuban ‘White Lightning’
Ben Johnson sold his Seoul, the cheating bum!
