Shannon’s rugby songs from the archives:
Lyrics to the three main IU rugby songs (1982).
Text 1: “Daisy”
Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do,
I’m half crazy
Six inches into you—
It won’t be a stylish entry
I can’t afford a frenchie,
But you’ll look sweet
Between the sheets
When I’m six inches into you.
Text 2: “Haka”
Ka mate Ka mate
It is death It is death
Ka ora Ka ora
It is life It is life
Ka mate Ka mate
It is death It is death
Ka ora Ka ora
It is life It is life
Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
This is the hairy man
Nana I tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Who caused the sun to shine again for me
Upane Upane
Up the ladder Up the ladder
Upane Kaupane
Up to the top
Whiti te ra
The sun shines!
Text 3: “California Bear”
The California bear
Is losing all his hair
His teeth are gone out, he’s got the gout
He don’t know what it’s all about
His eyes are made of glass
He’s falling on his ass
The mighty California bear
Is losing all his class!
