The Irish Seaman

Listen close my children

And I'll tell you all a tale

About a young Irishman

Who set sail



Out on the sea

He met a maiden fair

With scales on her ass

And seaweed in her hair



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee



Waiting his whole life

For such a catch

As he stared into her eyes,

He knew they were a match



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee





But alas there was a problem

They could never be

For he belonged on land

And she lived in the sea



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee





He said “my dear I love you

I wish we could be wed

But I wouldn't know what to do

Once we got to bed!”



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee





Then she swam away

Never to return

He cried a single tear

And he threw up on the stern



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee





He continued on his journey

On the deep blue sea

The only problem was

He was crushed by a tree



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee



La dee la dee la dee la dee

Lee dee lee dee lee dee lee dee

Lie dee lie dee lie dee lie dee

Lo dee lo dee lo dee lo dee
