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!
