A Seafood Song - The Divine Comedy

Hannon
Who'll have a fishy
On a little dishy
Who will have a fishy
When the boat comes
And then he says
with our glasses both raised in a toast
Let's sing for those in peril on the sea
Who cater ceaselessly
To thy every wish
With every fish
As fresh as fish can be
You see I'm into my oysters
My king prawns and caviar
No matter how far away they are
I'll be there
And then she says
now with our glasses both raised in this toast
Let's sing for those in peril on the sea
Who labour tirelessly
In their tiny boats
Off john o' groats
Their socks soaked for me
You see I do like my lobster
My hake skate and rainbow trout
And if there's a fishy smell about
I'll be there and then
And then we'll sing for those in peril on the sea
Don't be frightened
Don't be scared
Chop off their heads
And little legs
Then peel away the shell
And open up your senses to the smell
The sound and colour
Touch and taste
Of crab cod clams and kippers
Scampi squid sole shark and scallop
Winkles whelks whale and whiting
Seaw**d swordfish sardines and sea urchin
Haddock halibut herrings and eel
Cockles mussels mackerel and veal
Pilchard plankton st peter's fish and plaice
Octop***y jellyfishy
And dolphin's an aquired taste
who will have a fishy
On a little dishy
I will have a fishy
When the boat comes in
