Lewis Clive The Young'uns

[Verse 1]
When Lewis Clive took his first swim he kicked his little legs so thin
And though he hardly had the room, he swam around his mother's womb
The midwife waited for a grip like a fielder at first slip
And the bunting it was all unfurled when Lewis dived into the world
But there was one thing held him down - umbilical cord a-twining round
He saw the pliers on the shelf and went and cut the cord himself

[Chorus 1]
For Lewis Clive! Lewis Clive!
Couldn't wait to be alive
Lewis Clivе

[Verse 2]
When Lewis Clive bеcame a man his back was straight, his arms were strong
And he became an Oxford blue and then in 1932
Beneath the Californian sun the umpire fired the starting gun
And the rings were blazing bright and bold when Lewis won Olympic Gold
And though he missed the boat back home Lewis Clive didn't moan
It's a long way from Americay but Lewis Clive swam all the way

[Chorus 2]
Oh Lewis Clive! Lewis Clive!
Ain't it great to be alive
Lewis Clive
