Lyrics
Ha! Ha! Here's how it begins!
Not in a boardroom!
In a swimming lane!
Hey!
Lap after lap in the pool at dawn
Counting the tiles when the big idea's born
Chlorine in his ears, goggles fogged with steam
Halfway through backstroke, he interrupts his own swim.
Born in lane four, not an office chair.
Born in lane four, soaking wet hair
Bring the readers and the sellers in one place
Born in lane four, dripping all over the place
Climbs up shivering, grabs a towel and a pen
Scribbles the whole plan before he's dry again
Twenty years later, it's still going strong
One wet idea that turned out this long
Hey, born in Lane 4, not an office chair.
Born in Lane 4, soaking wet hair.
Bring the readers and the sellers in one place
Born in Lane 4, drippin' all over the place
His wife just laughed when he told her
The news said you thought of that swimming
Well, whatever works Sometimes the biggest thing in the whole industry
Starts with a guy forgetting to hold his breath
Born in lane four, not an office chair
Born in lane four, soaking wet hair
Bring the readers and the sellers in one place
Born in Lane 4
Drippin' all over the place
Born in Lane 4
Born in Lane 4
