Hero from Freetown - 2025

Farewell and adieu, Hero from Freetown,
Farewell and adieu, from the Land of the Free,
For you must take flight to mountainous Schweiz,
Starting a new story with our melancholy.

[Chorus]
We’ll clink and we’ll cheers like true German friends,
We’ll run and we’ll dribble all on the Bay grass,
Till then we’ll score zingers in the goals of ol’ Roble;
From Basel to Frisco is many-a league!

You came from Black Forest, but were not a tourist,
For science you came, ‘speccing proteins your aim.
Fun you had too, but a siren called you,
So, finish your ale and hoist that sail!

[Chorus]
We’ll clink and we’ll cheers like true German friends,
We’ll run and we’ll dribble all on the Bay grass,
Till then we’ll score zingers in the goals of ol’ Roble;
From Basel to Frisco is many-a league!

The Rhine’s water flows, chilling landlubber toes,
The Münster’s bell rings, the wind howls and stings,
You’ve sailed into dock, to toil by the Rock,
Your anchor is down, and sorrow will drown!

[Chorus]
We’ll clink and we’ll cheers like true German friends,
We’ll run and we’ll dribble all on the Bay grass,
Till then we’ll score zingers in the goals of ol’ Roble;
From Basel to Frisco is many-a league!
