Climb Every Mountain (SF 2000)
The Cheerios didn't actually write this song, but we
certainly sang it many times, and we taught it to the walkers in other
cities when we visited their events. It's to the tune of "Climb Every
Mountain" from The Sound of Music. If you're lucky enough to see us
do this in person, you'll get the full effect with Susie-Q acting out
every line.
Climb every mountain
Stretch every hour
Pee at every pit stop
Until you reach the shower.
Pop every blister
Ice both your knees
Spray us with your misters
and your hoses, please.
Thank the crew for dinner
We slept on the ground
Everest was our base camp
Fog and cold abound.
We raised lots of money
It was hard for sure
But we'll keep on walking
Until we find the cure.
Cheerios Cadence (SF 2001)
This marching cadence was created on our annual Canada
Day training walk (July 1). We also had a slightly edited version
that we took to Seattle in August 2001 and San Diego in 2002 (replacing mention of Skyline,
Hillcrest and our beloved SJ Bike Cops).
I don't know
but I've been told
[repeat after each line]
3-Day walkers are good as gold
We've got blisters on our
feet
’Cause we're walking down your street
Sound off [Avon]
Sound off [3-Day]
Bring it on down
[Avon 3-Day, Avon.... 3-Day!]
Porta-Potties at every pit
We're carrying our blister kit
We've got tape on every toe
Three thousand walkers in a row
[chorus]
San Jose bike cops sure are fine
Riding up and down our line
Fans are cheering with a smile
To keep us going one more mile
[chorus]
Sleep
in tents, that's just our luck
Taking showers in a truck
Skyline's cold and very wet
But we won't quit walking yet
[chorus]
We can walk and
raise funds too
But we can't walk without our Crew
Our Crew is tops there is no doubt
Without their help we'd all burn out
[chorus]
Wear pink
ribbons, walk in style
Water refills every mile
Safety, stretching, drink and food
Share our fun-filled attitude!
[chorus]
Hillcrest may be steep and tall
But we conquered, one and all
When we're walking we are proud
Walk in pairs or in a crowd
[chorus]
Yes we're tired, that's for sure
But we'll keep walking for a cure
We'll raise money every day
'Till breast cancer goes away
[chorus]
