Yo Ho Ho and a Barrel of Chum
Twelve birders on the Blue Shark sailed
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Set out for the Celtic Deep, but failed
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Cap’n Donaghy had a wicked grin
He knew what was in store or was full o’ gin
Anymore wind and they’d be in the swim
Gale force 6 the breeze did blow
The little Blue Shark rocked to and fro’
“Hang on tight, or we’ll see you no more”
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Twelve birders of ‘em good and true
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Seven long miles out before they knew
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Jeff threw the rank bait at the back o’ deck
The crew had a retchin’ in the neck
Dolphins, skuas, Manxies it did fetch
With gannets, fulmars and a stormie
Enticed from his belly by the raging sea
Wayne’s breakfast was for all to see
Yo ho ho and a barrel of chum!
Apologies to Robert Lewis Stevenson
