I guessed Puff the Magic Dragon. Does that date me? No, wait. He live BY the sea. If I had guessed the Greek Godof the sea it would have dated me even more?

At one time I knew a couple of dozen sea shanties. Not one of them could be cleaned up enough to teach a young girl.

And now me lads be of good cheerFor the Irish coast will soon draw nearAnd we’ll steer a course for the old Cape ClearJenny get your oatcakes done.

Whip Jamboree, Whip JamboreeOh your pigtail, sailor, is hanging down behind,Whip Jamboree, Whip JamboreeOh Jenny get your oatcakes done

The Ballad Of Gillian’s Island

Why no life jackets?

I’ve got a whale of a tale to tell you lads, a whale of a tale or two. (20,000 Leagues)

I’d like to be under the seaIn an octopus’ garden in the shadeHe’d let us in, knows where we’ve beenIn his octopus’ garden in the shade (Beatles)

“Just sit right back, and you will hear a tale of a fateful trip……………………………………………”

Ok, here is one,complete with call and responsea fun song too

When I was a little boy so my mother told me, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

That if I did not kiss the girls, my lips would all grow mouldy, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Way haul away, the good ship now is rolling, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

First I met a Yankee girl and she was fat and lazy, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Then I met an Irish girl, she damn near drove me crazy, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

King Louis was the king of France before the revolution, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

And then he got his head cut off, it spoiled his constitution, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

Way haul away, we’re bound for better weather, to meWay haul away, we’ll haul away Joe

My dad was in the Navy. He knew – and cleaned up – a number of sea chanties to sing to me. When he was younger, he would do the hornpipe for me, but the sight of a silver-maned Anglican priest doing to hornpipe was just a bit much.

@ Trapper John, you might want to look up the lyrics to Drunken Sailor.

http://www.elyrics.net/read/g/great-big-sea-lyrics/drunken-sailor-lyrics.html

“sea chantey – noun – a rhythmical work song originally sung by sailors [syn: chantey]”

Repetitive, rythmic, and, according to your definition, an alternating chorus and verse. I think that that song more than has it covered.

Where are the fishing rods?

Matthew’s Southern Comfort….“Blood Red Roses”.

what do you do with a drunken sailor?put him in the bed of the captains daughter!love the irish rovers.

Anchor’s Aweigh!

Wood’s Tea Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woods_Tea_Company) has lots of good sea shanties. They used to open shows saying that it was because they are from Vermont. For some reason in North Dakota no one got the joke (Vermont is landlocked).

If anything, the kid should be wearing a life jacket!! I guess it never dawned on Bozo.

I like spongebob!! F is for friends who do stuff together U is for you and me, N is for anywhere and anytime at all down here in the deep blue sea! From Spongebob “F.U.N”
