The Clean Song
(Traditional)
Song History (click for popup)

There was a young sailor who looked through the glass
And spied a fair mermaid with scales on her...

Island where seagulls fly over their nests
She combed the long hair that hung over her...

Shoulders which caused her to tickle and itch.
The sailor cried out "There's a beautiful...

Mermaid a-sitting out there on the rocks",
The crew came around a-grabbing their...BR>
Glasses and crowded four deep to the rail,
All eager to share in this fine piece of...

News which the captain soon heard from the watch
He tied down the wheel and he reached for his...

Crackers and cheese which he kept near the door
In case he might someday encounter a...

Mermaid. He knew he must use all his wits
Crying "Throw out a line. We'll lasso her...

Flippers. And then we will certainly find
If mermaids are better before or be...

Brave, my good fellows." The captain then said
"With fortune we'll break through her mermaiden...

Heading to starboard, they tacked with dispatch
And caught that fair mermaid just under her...

Elbows and hustled her down below decks
And each took a turn at her feminine...

Setting her free at the end of the farce
She splashed in the waves, falling flat on her...

After a while the crew noticed some scabs
And soon they broke out with the pox and the...

Scratching with fury and cursing with spleen,
This song may be dull but it's certainly clean.
