Ohhhh!

The lively sails of the Skippurdedee

Are flappin' away in the wind

And if ye don't listen right now

I'll boot ya right in the end!

Well Garfast was a mighty fox

Though he was missin' half a tail

He sailed all around the sea

Hunting for that whale

He searched the sea far and wide

Searching for the beast

That bit off his tail so long ago

And had it for a feast.

He sailed away in the Skippurdedee

And finally got the fish

But when he finally caught it

The whale told him this.

I'm very sorry for what I did,

And will never do it again

If you let me go right now

I'll protect you from all the men

Puzzled, Garfast put down his sword

And asked What is a man?

The whale said "I made it up"

And bit off Garfast's tail again!

Ohhhh!

The lively sails of the Skippurdedee

Are flappin' away in the wind

And if ye don't listen right now

I'll boot ya right in the end!
