A Sailor went to sea, sea, sea,
To see what he could see, see, see.
But all that he could see, see, see,
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea
Swim so wild and you swim so free
Heaven above and the sea below
Just a little white whale on the go
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga,
Is the water warm? Is your mama home
With you, so happy
Way down yonder where the dolphins play
Where they dive and splash all day
The waves roll in and the waves roll out
See the water squirting out of your spout
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga,
Sing your little song, sing for all your friends,
We like to hear you
When it’s dark and you’re home and fed
Curling up snug in your waterbed
Stars are shining and the moon is bright
Good night, little whale, goodnight
Baby beluga, baby beluga, with tomorrow’s sun
Another day has come, you’ll soon be waking
Baby beluga, baby beluga, is the water warm?
Is your mother home with you, so happy
Actions:
Hands together, make the shape of a small whale jumping over the waves.
Baby shark,

Doot-doo, doot-doo-doo-doo
Baby Shark!
Mommy Shark…
Daddy shark…
Grandma shark…
Going swimming…
See a shark…
Swimming fast…
Safe at last…
Bye-bye shark…
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges’ flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges, too, go silently
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges’ flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see them signaling far ahead
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Away from my window looking in the night
I will watch till they are out of sight
Carrying their cargoes far across the sea
How I wish that some day they’d take me
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
How my heart wants to fly away with you
As I watch you sail the ocean blue
But I must stay beside my window clear
As I watch you sail away from here
Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Come all ya young fellers that follow the sea
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
Now just pay attention and listen to me
Give me some time to blow the man down
Aboard the Black Baller I first served my time
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
But on the Black Baller I wasted my time
Give me some time to blow the man down
We’d tinker and tailors and sailors and all
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
That sailed for good seamen aboard the
Black Ball Give me some time to blow the man down
‘Tis larboard and starboard, on deck you will crawl
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
When kicking Jack Williams commands the Black Ball
Give me some time to blow the man down
Now when the Black Baller’s preparin’ for sea
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
You’d bust your sides laughin’ at sights that you see
Give me some time to blow the man down
But when the Black Baller is clear of the land
With a yo-ho, blow the man down
Old kicking Jack Williams gives ev’ry command
Give me some time to blow the man down
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow the wind south o’er the bonny blue sea
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow, bonny breeze, my lover to me
They told me last night there were ships in the offing
And I hurried down to the deep rolling sea
But my eye could not see it wherever might be it
The bark that is bearing my lover to me
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow, bonny breeze o’er the bonny blue sea
Blow the wind southerly, southerly, southerly
Blow, bonny breeze, and bring him to me
Is it not sweet to hear the breeze singing
As lightly it comes o’er the deep rolling sea
But sweeter and dearer by far when ‘tis bringing
The bark of my true love in safety to me
Come all ye young sailor men, listen to me
I’ll sing you a song of the fish of the sea
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
Oh, first come the whale, the biggest of all
He clumb up a loft and let ev’ry sail fall
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
And next came the mack’rel with his striped back
He hauled aft the sheets and boarded each tack
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
Then come the porpoise with his short snout
He went to the wheel, calling, “Ready, about.”
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
Then come the smelt, the smallest of all
He jumped to the poop, and sung out, “Topsail haul!”
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
The herring come saying, “I’m king of the seas
If you want any wind, why I’ll blow you a breeze.”
Then blow ye winds westerly, westerly blow
We’re bound to the south’ard so steady she goes
Have you ever been a fishing
Turkey in the Straw
Have you ever been a-fishing on a bright and sunny day
With all the little fishies swimming in and out the bay
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
All the little fishies do the fishy-wishy dance
Singing la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
All the little fishies do the fishy-wishy dance.
