Michael, Row Your Boat Back Home

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: August 24, 2008

The new unofficial Olympic theme song…

Michael, row your boat back home
cross the ocean.
Better yet, just swim to shore
in one motion.

You have done your nation proud
with eight medals.
Hope the fervor of your feats
never settles.

You're the greatest athlete
in a Speedo.
With a wingspan that's as wide
as an eagle's.

What you touch just turns to gold
like King Midas.
Could you coach us to invest?
Would you guide us?

Ben Bernanke and the Feds
need your wisdom.
At the price of gold today
we could use some.

(tune: Michael, Row Your Boat Ashore)
