The Monster from the Sea

<Bend your back and row me lads, and take me to me whale

Tonight we sing and dance, and totmorrow night we sail6

We'll sail into the harbor, no prouder men will be

to show them all we've capture4d the monster from the sea

Die die die die-di-die>

We sailed from port one morning when the weather it was fair

a gentle breeze it pushed on, and no one gave a care

we sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up a keg

we're off to catch the monster whale who took the captain's leg

Die die die die-di-die 4

The captains said 'a piece o gold for him who sees me whale' 

so bend your backs and row, me lads, and I know that we won't fail

<...>

Die die die die-di-die

We spied the whale one morning when the weather it was fair

the men were white as ghosts but the captain didn't care

'I'll take this whale meself' he cried, the weak can stay behind

the strong can share my glory and tonight they'll share my wine

Die die

The whale it came so close, it was bigger than the sky

they lowered down the longboat and heard the captain cry

Die die die die-da-die

The whale it came so close, well it almost tipped the boat

the captain raised his spear and he rammed it down his throat

the whale it gave a mortal cry and lifted his great tail

and brought it down a-smashing on the small boat like a gale

Die die...

Now a hundred years have passed since the captain and his men

went down to spend their days in Davy Jones's den

the whale it goes on living, but inside it wears a scar

and if you're ever near that place a voice calls from afar...

[Quiet]Bend your back and row me lads, and take me to the whale

Tonight we sing and dance, and and tomorrow night we sail

We'll sail into the harbor, no prouder men will be

[Loud] to show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
