Ship ahoy[00:00:07]
I once went fishin' and I caught a mermaid[00:00:11]
Told that she was neptunes daughter[00:00:19]
I could probuck for a buck and a quarter[00:00:21]
Sold them a pen for writing under[00:00:23]
The water[00:00:26]
Water[00:00:29]
Ship ahoy[00:00:33]

So I told her pappy[00:00:41]
That we could be happy[00:00:45]
Pappy said listen here you bounder[00:00:48]
You can na keep her just 'cause you founder[00:00:50]

Begged her to marry she didn't tarry[00:01:11]
I slipped the finger upon flipper[00:01:18]

Thought her shy one but she was a sly one[00:01:40]
First I thing knew she took to swinging[00:01:48]
Slippin' around and never caring[00:01:49]
Cuddlin' with every Tom and Dick[00:01:51]
Harry[00:01:55]

She just got slyer and no one a liar[00:02:10]
Spare all maloon or gin and splurgin[00:02:17]
Liken a face without no urgin[00:02:19]
Specially when she said she was a[00:02:21]
Sturger[00:02:25]
