Then a rummy thing did 'appen
Wich amazed me and the Cap'en;
I struck,—but so did that Whale,
Brave boys!
I struck—but so did that Whale!
We found he was the better at a Strike,
Brave boys!
Fhwisk! He hit us such a wallop with his ta-a-a-il.
With my hook, sprat, tackle too
He just vanished from our view.
