The Clean Song
There once was a sailor, who looked through the glass,
And spied a fair mermaid, with scales on her
Island Where seagulls, fly over their nests
She combed the long hair that hung over her
Shoulders which caused her to tickle and itch.
The sailor cried out "There's a beautiful
mermaid, a-sitting out there on the rocks,"
The sailors rushed forward all grabbing their
glasses and crowded four deep to the rail,
All eager to share in this fine piece of
News Which the captain soon heard from the watch.
He tied down the wheel and he reached for his
Crackers and cheese which he kept by the door.
In case he should someday encounter a
Mermaid he knew he must use all his wits
Crying "Throw out a line. We'll lasso her
Flippers and then we will certainly find
If mermaids are better Before or be
Brave my good fellows." the captain then said.
"With fortune we'll break through her mermaiden
Heading to starboard they tacked with dispatch.
And caught that fair mermaid just under her
Elbows and hustled her down below decks,
Where each took a turn at her feminine
Setting her free at the end of the farce,
She splashed in the waves, falling flat on her
After a while one man noticed some scabs,
Soon they broke out with the pox and the
Scratching With fury, cursing with spleen,
This song may be dull but it's certainly clean.
