A Seafood Song Lyrics

"Who'll have a fishy On a little dishy? Who will have a fishy

When the boat comes..."



And then he says "With our glasses both raised in a toast

Let's sing for those in peril on the sea

Who cater ceaselessly

To thy every wish With every fish As fresh as fish can be

You see, I'm into my oysters

My king prawns and caviar

No matter how far away they are

I'll be there!"



And then she says, "Now with our glasses both raised in this toast Let's sing for those in peril on the sea

Who labour tirelessly

In their tiny boats Off John O' Groats Their socks soaked for me

You see, I do like my lobster

My hake, skate and rainbow trout

And if there's a fishy smell about

I'll be there! And then



And then we'll sing for those in peril on the sea...



Don't be frightened Don't be scared Chop off their heads And little legs Then peel away the shell

And open up your senses to the smell

The sound and colour Touch and taste



Of crab, cod, clams and kippers

Scampi, squid, sole, shark and scallop

Winkles, whelks, whale and whiting

Seaweed, swordfish, sardines and sea urchin



Haddock, halibut, herrings and eel

Cockles, mussels, mackerel and veal

Pilchard, plankton, St Peter's fish and plaice Octopussy jellyfishy And dolphin's an aquired taste
