The Young O' Donovan Brothers

For Ireland and for west Cork and the gold and white and green
They wrapped themselves in glory those young men from Skibbereen
In Olympic lightweight rowing a silver medal they won
For brothers Gary and Paul O' Donovan this was a job well done

For a medal rank outsiders the favorite France pipped them for gold
The story of the O'Donovans in centuries from now will be told
Their post race videos quite hilarious have gone viral Worldwide
To the young Skibbereen rowing legends this showed the humorous side

The young O'Donovan brothers not yet in their lives prime
They may be Olympic Champions of lightweight rowing in Japan in four years time
Down to earth Olympic silver medalists for want of a better name
The witty O' Donovan brothers are enjoying their taste of fame

In Rio in the lightweight rowing Olympic final they rowed their way to silver and renown
And because of them Skibbereen in west Cork has become a Worldwide known town
Down to earth and witty such joy to competitive sports they do bring
Fans of rowing around the World the praises of the O'Donovans do sing.
