Since many bonspiels (ok, mostly ladies and mixed) have themes and team skits, every Saturday (or a bit late) we'll be posting a new song where the lyrics have been changed to fit the sport of curling.

Thanks to a member from the Sudbury Curling Club for today's song, based on the tune Wake Up Little Suzie. If you'd like to have your song featured, please send it to curler@curlingbonspiels.com

Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!

The Lead cleaned yellow number one;
And hurled it to hell and gone.
It was a pig,
They swept it big,
But still it started to dig.

Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
The hog line is far.

The Second kicked out of the hack;
Had draw weight to the max.
She gave a big kick,
But still it did pick,
We think we heard her say ‘shit’.

Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
The hog line is far.

The Vice had to make a hit;
Through a port she had to fit.
All she saw was blue,
She was blue too,
But still had a job to do.
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
The rock’s starting to curl.

The Skip faced quite a fight;
Not a yellow rock in sight.
But lots of blue,
She could draw to,
Thank God she threw it right.

Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
The rock’s starting to curl.

The competition was tough;
But we had the right stuff.
By the fourth end,
We were on the mend,
And came through in the end.

Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
Sweep hard senior curlers, sweep hard!
The rock’s starting to curl.
