[Verse 1]
Cast off from the docks onto boundless seas
There’s shops to be stocked, there are mouths to feed
Every town needs Neptune’s bounties
But bringing them aground? Well, it’s down to me
For the flounders, bream, crabs, cod and mackerel
Can’t outcompete man, rod and tackle
And the salmon and the wrasse, barracuda and the bass
Are all grouped up with the groupers – and a profit haggled
What’s it worth to get your earnings from a sturgeon on a pole?
There’s a lot of soul searching when you’rе searching for a sole
No man is an island but I’m fine to play thе role
Living life on the horizon, it can really take atoll
What you want to risk to get a fishy
There upon a little dishy when the boat comes in?
It’s a mystery but I’m pretty sure a big'un up and hit me
Took a nibble and he broke something
I’ll take tea with a spot of hake, please
Some chips, baked beans and a blob of H.P
Love, craft and skill let you dominate seas
Tough graft won’t kill – but a gob of great teeth
Cast off from the docks onto boundless seas
There’s shops to be stocked, there are mouths to feed
Every town needs Neptune’s bounties
But bringing them aground? Well, it’s down to me
For the flounders, bream, crabs, cod and mackerel
Can’t outcompete man, rod and tackle
And the salmon and the wrasse, barracuda and the bass
Are all grouped up with the groupers – and a profit haggled
What’s it worth to get your earnings from a sturgeon on a pole?
