SINSULL -- Here's your song pasted together. I took out a line in the first verse (there were too many), and in the second verse, took out one of the 'not's in 'maybe not not pride'. If you need any more changes, let me know. BTW, do you have a title for this song?

-- Áine

To the tune of "Babies In The Mill"

I used to be in competitive swims
Australian crawl my feat.
Through waters flashed
Impossible to beat.

But gators' jaws and gators' claws
Affected my technique.
I have my hide; maybe not pride.
But shin and thigh and cheek.

CHORUS:
Come into the water, Mark Davies
Come in without ado.
Its jaws are bound; its toes are clipped.
And Darwin's counting on you.

The authorities condemn Mark's style
'Tis cruel to man and beast.
In their opinion the crocodile
Must be private pooled to feast

Casuarina folk are even divided.
Some cheer the increased speed.
But some prefer the slower pace
And gore and bloody feed.

CHORUS
