Chrissie Came to Kansas

Liner Notes:When we heard that the 2009 Ironman Kansas Women's Champion, Chrissie Wellington, was returning to defend her title in 2010 we had to throw in a last-minute addition to the CD. This one goes out to Chrissie and her seemingly never-ending smile - welcome back to Kansas!

Chrissie came to Kansas
with a bike strapped to her back
round the world from end to end
seeking titles and a plaque

London, Seoul, & Singapore
she's been around the globe
but when Toto calls from Kansas
she packs her race wardrobe

she grew up in the UK
once worked in Kathmandu
her first tri was just years ago
now she's stompin' me and you

first Iron win in Ko-re-a
while snackin' on kimchee
then she won a race in Kona
never stopping to go pee

Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie Wellington
Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie get it done!

Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie Wellington
Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
now you're havin' fun!

another shot at a trophy
back in Kansas for a while
wind and hills and heat and pain
won't crack that endless smile

push hard on the course
and we'll be here to cheer
when you cross the finish line
we'll buy you a giant Kansas beer

Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie Wellington
Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie get it done!

Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
Chrissie Wellington
Chrissie (Chrissie) Chrissie (Chrissie)
now you're havin' fun!
