Lyrics
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea
Way, hey, blow the man down
I trust that you'll join in the chorus with me
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
There was an old skipper, I don't know his name
Way, hey, blow the man down
I know that he played him this really smart game
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
When he was becalmed on the tropical sea
Way, hey, blow the man down
He whistled all day, but it stirred up no breeze
Oh, give me some timŠµ to blow the man down
A seal heard his whistlŠµ and loudly did call
Way, hey, blow the man down
"I'll send you some fish and some whalefish and all"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Well, first came the herring, the King of the Sea
Way, hey, blow the man down
He jumped on the poop and said, "Captain I'll be"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Then next came the shark with his nine rows of teeth
Way, hey, blow the man down
"Cook, you mind the cabbage and I'll mind the beef"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
And last came the whale, he was biggest of all
Way, hey, blow the man down
He climbed up aloft and he let each sail fall
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Way, hey, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Way, hey, blow the man down
I trust that you'll join in the chorus with me
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
There was an old skipper, I don't know his name
Way, hey, blow the man down
I know that he played him this really smart game
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
When he was becalmed on the tropical sea
Way, hey, blow the man down
He whistled all day, but it stirred up no breeze
Oh, give me some timŠµ to blow the man down
A seal heard his whistlŠµ and loudly did call
Way, hey, blow the man down
"I'll send you some fish and some whalefish and all"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Well, first came the herring, the King of the Sea
Way, hey, blow the man down
He jumped on the poop and said, "Captain I'll be"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Then next came the shark with his nine rows of teeth
Way, hey, blow the man down
"Cook, you mind the cabbage and I'll mind the beef"
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
And last came the whale, he was biggest of all
Way, hey, blow the man down
He climbed up aloft and he let each sail fall
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Way, hey, blow the man down
Blow the man down, bullies, blow the man down
Oh, give me some time to blow the man down
