I was out in my dory one day and I wore
Oiled petticuts strapped to my hip.
I was thinkin’ and smokin’ and fishin’ away,
As quiet as quiet could be,
When all of a whew there was dickens to pay
In the neighborhood handy to me.
With a whoosh like a rocket I shot in the air,
And it seemed like’twas blowin’ a gale;
As I h’isted sky-hootin’ I looked, sor, and there
Was the jolly Jeehookibus Whale.
