The Fishes - lyrics

1. Our ship, she was rigged and ready for sea.
And all of her sailors were fishes to be,

Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly, blow!
Our ship is full rigged, now steady she goes.

2. Well, first came the codfish with his knuckle head,
He jumped in the chains and began heaving lead.

3. And next came the flounder that lies on the ground,
Saying "Damn your eyes knucklehead, mind how you sound!

4. And then came the porpoise with his pointy snout.
He went to the wheel shouting, "Ready about!"

5. And then came the sprat, he was smallest of all.
He jumped on the poop crying, "Maintops'l haul!

6. At last came the lobster with his prickly back.
He said, "I'll go forward and board the maintack."
