We’re going on a bear hunt unicorn frolic

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, and we’re not scared

We’re going to run lots of miles, but we’re not prepared

Five intrepid explorers travelled to Moreton

For a 12-hour race, frolicking with unicorns

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, are we going to see any

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, are there any to be found

The unicorn explorers rise early for a 08:00 start, but some were less ready than others

One explorer forged on ahead, while the others busied themselves for their delayed start

We will start soon, just time to put on fancy dress

We will start soon, just time for another trip to the loo

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, oh… the first explorer has done 5 miles already

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, we’re going to start now

Off the explorers went, round and round the woods they went

In pairs they went, in search of those illusive unicorns, and what ever else could be found

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, and visit love station

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, and visit the gin bar

The 2^nd half of the relay team started to wonder what’s taking them so long on this lap

It was past opening hour, so the 1^st half were busy at the gin bar, having one, two, three

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, we haven’t seen any yet

We’re going on a unicorn frolic, we’ve run lots of miles

Long into the evening one explorer ran, further than ever before

But at last, all the explorers were done, but the race was not won

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, and not one was found

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, just lots of nutters running around

Five intrepid explorers wiled away the evening, at the post-race barn dance

A barn dance you say!!! All the best frolics end with a barn dance, don’t you know?

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, and now there is thunder and lightning

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, so we’re not scared

Early the next morning, one explorer forged on ahead, in his trusty stead

To take photos of his club mates, running at great speed

I’ve been on a unicorn frolic, so thought it best not to do the Half

I’ve been on a unicorn frolic, so could have done without running up Tennyson

Later that morning four explorers set off home, in their trusty stead

But it faltered after less than a league

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, but now we are stuck

Avast, Avast

Hours and hours they waited, before the tow truck came

At last, at last

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, and had a great weekend with friends

We’ve been on a unicorn frolic, have you!

…

Four tiered explorers arrive home at last

And dream of unicorns, we’ve seen them at last
