 Got a whale of a tale to tell ya, lads 

-2  3   3   3   -3   -4   5   -4

A whale of a tale or two 

  7  -5  5 4  4 4  4 3  4  2

“Bout the flap-pin’ fish And the girls I’ve loved 

-2  3 3  -3  4  4  -4  -4  5

On nights like this with the moon a-bove 

-2  3  3  -3  4  4  -4  -4  5

A whale of a tale and it’s all true 

-6  5  4  -5  -3  4

I swear by my ta-too 

 

 5  -4  3  -3  -4  6

There was harpoon Hannah

5  -4  5  -4  5  -4  3  2

Had a face that made you shudder

3  -3  4  5  5  -4  5  -4  5  -4  3  2

lips like fish hooks and a nose just like a rudder

3  -3  4  5  5  -4  6  5  4  -3

When I kissed her and held her tenderly

3  -3  -4  -4  3  -3  -4  -4  4  -4  -5  5  -3  4

There's no sea monster big enough to ever frighten me.

 

There was Mer-maid Min-nie 

 Met her down in Mad-a-gas-car 

She would kiss me 

An-y-time that I would ask her 

 Then one eve-ning 

Her flame of love burned out 

 Blow me down and pick me up 

She swapped me for a trout 

 

There was Typhoon Tessie

Met her on the coast of Java

When we kissed I bubbled up like molten lava

Then she gave me the scare of my young life

Blow me down and pick me up 

She was the Captain's wife.
