He dines upon seamen and skippers, And tourists his hunger assuage, And a fresh cabin boy Will inspire him with joy If he's past the maturity age. A doctor, a lawyer, a preacher, He'll gobble one any fine day, But the ladies, God bless 'em. He'll only address 'em Politely and go on his way. l can readily cite you an instance Where a lovely young lady of Breem, Who was tender and sweet And delicious to eat, Fell into the bay with a scream. She struggled and flounced in the water And signaled in vain for her bark, And she'd surely been drowned If she hadn't been found By a chivalrous man-eating shark. He bowed in a manner most polished. Thus soothing her impulses wild: "Don't be frightened," he said, I've been properly bred And I eat neither woman nor child." Then he proffered his fin and she took it- Such a gallantry none can dispute- While the passengers cheered As the vessel they neared And a broadside was fired in salute. And they soon stood alongside the vessel, When a life-saving dinghy was lowered With the pick of the crew, And her relatives too, And the mate and the skipper aboard. So they took her aboard in a jiffy And the shark stood at attention the while, Then he raised on his flipper And ate up the skipper And went on his way with a smile. And this shows that the prince of the ocean, To ladies forbearing and mild, Though his record be dark, Is the man-eating shark Who will eat neither woman nor child @animal Reprinted in Song Fest by Dick and Beth Best from Nautical Lays of a Landsman by Wallace Irwin @fish @animal Copyright 1904 Wallace Irwin filename[ CHIVSHAR play.exe CHIVSHAR SF ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: City Of Baltimore, City Of New Orleans, Clares Dragoons, Clear Away In The Morning, Clear Away The Morning Dew, Clear The Track, Clementine, Clerk Colvill, Clerk Saunders, Cloakmakers Union, Cluck Old Hen, Coachmans Whip, Coal And Albert Berry, Coal Barons Song, Coal Black Rose, Coal Tattoo, Coal Town Road, Cocaine Lil, Cockels And Mussels, Cod Liver Ile, Cold Haily Rainy Night, Cold Winter Shadow, Colin And Phoebe, Collier Laddie, Colombia Native Anthem Text, Colorado Trail, Come All Ye Southern Soldiers, Come All You Coal Miners, Come All You Garners Gay, Come And Dine, Come And Join The Air Force, Come Be A Soldier For Marlboro And Me, Come By The Hills, Come Fare Away, Come Feed The Black Sow, Come Kiss Me Love, Come O My Love, Come to Sin, Come To The Bower, Comical Ditty, Comin Round The Mountain, Coming Down With Old Vd, Coming Of The Roads, Coming Round The Mountain, Commonwealth Of Toil, Commuters Coronach, Computer Love Song, Con Las Abejas, Confederate Yankee Doodle, Congleton Bear, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
