Listen close my childrenAnd I'll tell you all a tale
About a young Irishman
Who set sail
Out on the sea
He met a maiden fair
With scales on her ass
And seaweed in her hair
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
Waiting his whole life
For such a catch
As he stared into her eyes,
He knew they were a match
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
But alas there was a problem
They could never be
For he belonged on land
And she lived in the sea
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
He said my dear I love you
I wish we could be wed
But I wouldn't know what to do
Once we got to bed!
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
Then she swam away
Never to return
He cried a single tear
And he threw up on the stern
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
He continued on his journey
On the deep blue sea
The only problem was
He was crushed by a tree
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
La dee la dee la dee la dee
Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee
Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee
Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
