Koos van Wyk and I were mates
And we played for the second team
Of the Roan Antelope Rugby Club
But we couldn’t make the first fifteen

Koosie played a scrum-half
And I played on the wing
After the game Koos manned the bar
And I’d play guitar and sing

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
For what you did
The world is gonna see

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
Your name is going down in history

One day we played Bofulera
And they guard a penalty
The ref said “Put the ball in straight”
But it was cause I could see

That ref did bad at every scrum
And Koos was an irate man
So he socked the ref right off his feet
For that got a lifelong ban

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
For what you did
The world is gonna see

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
Your name is going down in history

As the youngest chairman in the world
It was hard to save Koosie’s face
But cap in hand to the union man
I went to ask for Grace

They reinstated Koosie
And he apologized
We won our games like sportsmen
But our team was still despised

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
For what you did
The world is gonna see

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
Your name is going down in history

They mocked our club and even our posts
And then I called the team
At night we built the highest post
The world has ever seen

A hundred feet high they stood
For all the world to see
But nothing ever stood taller
Than Koos van Wyk and me

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
For what you did
The world is gonna see

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
Your name is going down in history

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
For what you did
The world is gonna see

They said you’re going in
The Guinness Book of Records
Your name is going down in history

Oh if you care (If you care)
Have a look it’s there (Just look it’s there)
Just take a look (Take a little look)
It’s in the Guinness book (That Guinness book)

If you care (If you care)
Have a look it’s there (Have a look it’s there)
Just take a look (A little look)
It’s in the Guinness book (That Guinness book)
