A Seafood Song (2020 Mix)

"Who will have the fishy on the little dishy?

Who will have the fishy when the boat comes..."

And then he says...

"With our glasses both raised in a toast

Let's sing for those in peril on the sea

Who cater ceaselessly to my every wish

With every fish as fresh as fish can be, you see

I'm into my oysters, my king prawns and caviar

And no matter how far away they are I'll be there"

And then she says...

"Now with our glasses both raised in this toast

Let's sing for those in peril on the sea

Who labour tirelessly in their tiny boats off John O'Groats

Their socks soaked for me, you see

I do like my lobster, my hake, skate and rainbow trout

And if there's a fishy smell about I'll be there"

And then, and then we'll sing

For those in peril on the sea

Don't be frightened, don't be scared

Chop off their heads and little legs

Then peel away the shell and open up your senses to the smell

The sound and colour, touch and taste

Of crab, cod, clams and kippers

Scampi, squid, sole, shark and scallop

Winkles, whelks, whale and whiting

Seaweed, swordfish, sardines and sea urchin

Haddock, halibut, herring and eel

Cockles, mussels, mackerel and veal

Pilchard, plankton, St Peter's fish and plaice

Octopus, jellyfish, and dolphin's an acquired taste

"Who will have the fishy on the little dishy?

I will have the fishy when the boat comes in"
