Now this is the story all about how

Our camp got flipped, turned upside down

And we'd like to take a minute, just sit right there

And tell you about our 8th day here in Albufeir'

Trails

In the algarve running on the trails

Is where our athletes spend most of their days

Maxin', relaxin', chilliin' by the pool 

And watching Kevin Hope to be cool

Core Work

When a couple of clouds that were up to no good

Started precipitating on our neighborhood 

We felt one little drop and we all got scared

And we went to do some core work in the gym we all share

Fear

The girls went for some wax strips and when they came near

All the boys shouted with absolute fear,

If anything we could say Steve lost his chest hair 

But not to forget Andrew legs were left bare.

1.53

Andrew all smooth and slick was ready for his 8

And he yelled to Joe Ryan "yo homes what's the split?"

In 1:53 he was finally there

Twas a great day for all here in Albufeir'.
