I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho! Heave ho! Look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you In mysterious fathoms below I'll sing you a song of the king of the sea An' it's hey to the starboard, heave ho! Heave ho! The ruler of all of the oceans is he In mysterious fathoms below Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho! Heave ho!
