Casuarina Club Coach Spells Speed With A 'C' -- (Darwin, Australia 30/6/01) An Australian coach is using a crocodile in the pool to encourage his swimmers to improve their speeds. Mark Davies, from Casuarina Crocs Swimming Club in Darwin, says the technique improves his squad's performance. Local swimming authorities say he'll have to use a private pool if he wants to continue using the crocodile while the Australian Institute of Sport has condemned the technique. Mr Davies is unrepentant. He told Australian newspaper The Telegraph: "The thought of something chasing them down the pool certainly improves the speeds of my swimmers." Before the 1.8-metre saltwater crocodile is lowered into the water, its jaw is bound with tape and its claws are clipped.

(Please do forgive me, Cat Whatever-your-name-is-now, for taking liberties with your venerable "Moonshadow.")

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

God! If I ever slow my pace,
I'll lose more than just this race,
Oh, if I ever slow my pace,
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!,
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I won't have no feet no more.

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

And if I slow, I'll lose my ass;
The croc'll do more than just pass!
Yes if I slow, I'll lose my ass;
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!,
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I won't have no butt no more.

He won't take long to catch me. He's got me in his sights!
That reptile's bound to catch me! I'm racing from sheer fright!

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

And if this race I chance to botch,
Th' croc will breakfast on my crotch,
And if this race I chance to botch,
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!,
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I won't reproduce no more!

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow.

And if he gets me in his mouth,
All his teeth in my 'north and south,'
Well, if he gets me in his mouth,
Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!,
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I won't ever race no more!

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

The coach thinks I can win the prize
With that reptile at my thighs.
Coach thinks I can win the prize,
But Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!,
Ow! Ow! Ow!
I'm not sure it's worth it all!

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

They say that croc's jaws are taped shut,
He's only a shadow.
They say that croc's jaws are taped shut,
But, Ow! If he breaks it, there go my nuts!
I won't have no 'nads at all!

Well, I'm
Bein' tailgated by a Croc Shadow,
Croc shadow, Croc Shadow,
Smokin' and strokin' in a croc's shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.

Fade away:

Strainin' and trainin' in a Croc's Shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.
Racin' and prayin' in a Croc's Shadow,
Croc's shadow, croc's shadow.
Tailgated and baited by that Croc Shadow,
Croc Shadow, Croc Shadow.
Croc Shadow, Croc Shadow.
Croc Shadow, Croc Shadow.
