Outside the Cold War raged
Polaris Plan potential tragedy
Over the hill, fun in the fast lane
Vale volk 1963 frozen comradery

The Loch was singing Lets Slide
Ode to The Great Escape on Ice
The Vales doorstep Paradise
Due North from Balloch Pier 1963

A duck got stuck to a penguin
on solid surf close to Rowerdennan
1963 Inches North of Bay de Milarkey
Natures own West Highland Way

Polar Bears in the Drovers Inn
Parked for a heat and a Warm Ale
rapping the coolest frothy repartee
ever uttered near the Vale,1963

There was no heatwave in Ardlui
No Firkin Point streakers guaranteed
but forever still the biggest thing
to hit Vale was the big freeze of 63

CHORUS
If we can cure the plague
Like we did last summer maybe
We can free the zing, cry liberty
Find the spirit with plenty of ice
Get In the groove like its 1963
