Battling Prawns 
As I sailed into Liverpool against a stormy gale I was captured by a bumboat that was manned by killer whales; They for-ced me to join their crew to voyage 'round Cape Horn And sailed into the Arctic Seas to battle with the prawns
 With the prawns They sailed into the Arctic Seas to battle with the prawns. 
Now the whales they had a mutiny upon this pirate ship, They had run out of plankton because I had a ton of it. And so they threw me overboard to brave the winters' storms They left me in the Arctic Sea to battle with the prawns.
 With the prawns They left me in the Arctic Sea to battle with the prawns. 
Now I was saved by Captain Birdseye, he invited me for tea With a lot of screeching children and a bottle of Chablis We ate fish fingers through the night into the early morn Then sailed on through the Arctic Seas to battle with the prawns.
 With the prawns Then sailed on through the Arctic Seas to battle with the prawns. 
On Greenland's far Atlantic shore I met a girl so fair We held each other through the night despite the polar bears She said, "Where is my maidenhead," and looked at me forlorn, It's far out on the Arctic Sea, doing battle with the prawns.
 With the prawns It's far out on the Arctic Sea, doing battle with the prawns.
