Safety first.

Speed Kills, apparently.

So if people are going to attempt water speed records, from now on,
they're just going to have to do it at a safe speed.

I assure you that Bernard Cribbins owns neither the composing nor the
publishing rights to that song, which is credited to Ted Dicks & Myles
Rudge and published by Noel Gay Music. The recording copyright is owned,
of course, by EMI Records.

had actually written it. Apologies to the copywrite owners.
