Been at sea all me bloomin' life. Me mother was a mermaid; me natural father was King Neptune. I was born on the crest of a wave, and rocked in the cradle of the deep. Seaweed and barnacles be me clothes. Every tooth in me head is a marling spike; the hair on me head is Eye-talian hemp. Every bone in me body is a spar, and when I spit, I spits Stockholm tar. I'm hard, I is, I am, I are! |
