The Polar Swimming Sauna Song

This was our last evening of our free weekend. We went for a great supper at the Bistro Ernst.
Then after a sauna, the Fonstad Tattoo parlour opened for Canadian and Saskatchewan tattoos.
We then sat down to visit over cider and wine and all of a sudden a song was born. Here is what we came up with. Enjoy!


To the Tune of "I will Survive"





First I was afraid. I was petrified.


Thinking I could never live without my towel by my side.


I spent so many nights thinking how this could go wrong


But I grew strong. I learned how to carry on


And so I went.


I tiptoed in.


And before I knew it freezing water covered all my skin.


I should have changed my stupid mind


I should have kept warm with a tea


If I had known for just one second how cold I'd really be


But they said "Go,


Walk through that door.


Then turn around now'cause you have to jump in the cold once more."


Weren't you the one who tried to trick me with a lie


You said I'd like this, you said I wouldn't lay down and die.


Oh yeah, not I


I will survive


As long as I know how to run I know I'll stay alive


I've got to get to the sauna quick. I've got to feel the heat.


I must get the blood flowing to my feet.


I'll survive. I will survive


I've been to sauna and I am still alive.


I am Canadian but I can be a Finn.


Not only in hockey can we really win.


I will survive!
