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
