[Verse 1]
The years have been tough
And no one could blame you for feeling so rough
You need a distraction
A thrill for your body and mind
So come on with me
For I know a hill in the Gloucestershire trees
We'll head to the top
And we'll chase down some cheese
Oh yes, you heard me correct
As we fly...

[Chorus]
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Up the peak and back again
Limbs are to- and fro-ing
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Edam, brie, and cheddar, boys
Just keep that cheese a-rolling

[Verse 2]
It's hard at the top
So stretch out your hamstrings and pull up your socks
And if you should fall
May the landing be soft on your bones
Hear victory's call
It sounds like a siren across stony walls
But greatest of all you could roll down that slope
A living legend, a beacon of hope
We'll make our mothers proud
As we fly...
[Chorus]
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Up the peak and back again
Limbs are to- and fro-ing
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Edam, brie, and cheddar, boys
Just keep that cheese a-rolling

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Up the peak and back again
Limbs are to- and fro-ing
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Edam, brie, and cheddar, boys
Just keep that cheese a-rolling
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Up the peak and back again
Limbs are to- and fro-ing
Over stone and over fern
Down the banks we're going
Edam, brie, and cheddar, boys
Roquefort, mozzarella, boys
Jarlsberg, Stilton, feta, boys
Keep that cheese a-rolling
