A German Virgo
Forty three
He 's got this licked mathmatically
With heavy metal playlist booming
Jens Voigt plans an hours' zooming !
He claims this is his final circuit
Retirement-- Jensie works it!!
The Velodrome packed to the rafters
He says goodby for ever after
The Hour Record his to grab
His silver shoes are super bad
He's in the zone striving for control
Here we go! Let's rock and roll!
He must practice holding back
Which is not for Jens a natural act
Oh, Jens! Oh, Jens!
it churlish to wonder
How you would ride this if you were younger ?
Your form is great
Your fitness fab
But what about this feels a bit sad?
After seventeen seasons as cycling sage
It's tough to withdraw because of age
For one for whom suffering is a religion
It 's hard to retire on television
You know what? He's having fun
The crowd just loves to see him run!
At eight minutes to go
He puts on a show
A picture perfect ride is Jens'
I know he would like to do it again
The Hour Record holds his name
Jens quits at the top of his game!!!
Fresh as a daisy he takes his crown
Jens, we will miss having you around!
