A Seafood Song

<br>"Who`ll have a fishy<br>On a little dishy?<br>Who will have a fishy<br>When the boat comes..."<br>And then he says,<br>"With our glasses both raised in a toast<br>Let`s sing for those in peril on the sea<br>Who cater ceaselessly<br>To thy every wish<br>With every fish,<br>As fresh as fish can be!<br>Y`see, I do like my oysters,<br>My king prawns and caviar -<br>No matter how far away they are,<br>I`ll be there!"<br>And then she says,<br>"Now with our glasses both raised in this toast,<br>Let`s sing for those in peril on the sea<br>Who labour tirelessly<br>In their tiny boats<br>Off John O` Groats,<br>Their socks soaked for me!<br>Y`see, I do like my lobster,<br>My hake, skate and rainbow trout -<br>And if there`s a fishy smell about,<br>I`ll be there!"<br>And then we`ll sing for those in peril on the sea<br>Don`t be frightened, don`t be scared -<br>Chop off their heads and little legs,<br>Then peel away the shell<br>And open up your senses to the smell,<br>The sound and colour,<br>Touch and taste<br>Of crabs, cod, clams and kippers<br>Scampi, squid, sole, shark and scallop<br>Winkles, whelks, whale and whiting<br>Seaweed, swordfish, sardines and sea urchin<br>Haddock, halibut, herrings and eel<br>Cockles, mussels, mackerel, geel<br>Pilchard, plankton, St Peter`s fish and plaice<br>Octopussy jellyfishy<br>And dolphin`s an aquired taste...<br>"Who`ll have a fishy<br>On a little dishy?<br>I will have a fishy<br>When the boat comes in..."
