Wellerman (Electro Swing Mix)
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy O' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (Ho!)
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (Hey!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring that sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go (Ho!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring that sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go (Hey!)
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-a da, dum, dum
Doodl-o do dum, dum
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-e dum, dum, dum, dum (Hey!)
(Hey!)
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring that sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go (Ho!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring that sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go (Hey!)
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-a da, dum, dum
Doodl-o do dum, dum
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-e dum, dum, dum, dum (Hey!)
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring that sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go (Hey!)
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-a da, dum, dum
Doodl-o do dum, dum
Dai, dai, deedl-i-dee, dum-dum
Doodl-e dum, dum, dum, dum
