A clean songThere was a young sailorWho looked through the glass,And spied a fair mermaidWith scales on her islandWhere seagullsFly over their nestsShe combed the long hairThat hung over her shouldersAnd caused herTo tickle and itch.The sailor cried outThere's a beautiful mermaid,A-sitting outThere on the rocks,The crew came aroundA-grabbing their glassesAnd crowded four deepTo the rail,All eager to shareIn this fine piece of news.Which the captain soonHeard from the watch.He tied down the wheelAnd he reached for his crackersAnd cheese whichHe kept near the door.In case he might somedayEncounter a mermaid.He knew he mustUse all his witsCrying Throw out a line.We'll lasso her flippers. And then we willCertainly findIf mermaids are betterBefore or be braveMy good fellows. The captain then said.With fortune we'll breakThrough her mermaiden head--ing to starboardThey tacked with dispatch.And caught that fair mermaidJust under her elbowsAnd hustled herDown below decks,And each took a turnAt her feminine settingHer free at the endOf the farce,She splashed in the waves,Falling flat on her afterA while one manNoticed some scabs,Soon they broke out with the poxAnd the scratchingWith fury,Cursing with spleen,This song may be dullBut it's certainly clean.Recorded by Oscar Brand, Bawdy Sea SongsSee also butbrass, swtvilt@bawdy @sailor @mythFilename[ cleansngJy===Document boundary
