Three Cheers in Flint

Three Cheers in Flint

Let’s give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too

The Flint Lifeboat rescued a dolphin

Three pensioners trapped in their bed

The crew of a boat and some drunkards

A skier who fell on his head

So give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too

For certain the lifeboat men’s training

Is varied and rich and it’s good

For seamen and floods - wrecks and diving

And small children trapped in the mud

Now Give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too

The waters in Flint wandered inland

They worked 14 hours a day

To rescue a hundred and eighty

Whose houses were swamped in the Bay

Just give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too

And that was in Spring 1990

Between all the rescues at sea

And working at jobs to earn money

And using the time they had free

Please give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too

Give three cheers for the lifeboat

Another three for the crew

And give three more for the shore men

And the money raisers too
