Di Di Di Di Di De Di Di
They sailed from port one morning when the weather it was fair
A gentle breeze it pushed them and no one gave a care
They sang and danced and laughed that night and opened up a keg
They're out to catch the monster whale that took the captain's (leg)
Di Di Di Di Di De Di Di
The Captain said "a piece of gold for he who sees my whale"
So bend your backs and row me boys I know that we won't fail
(Chorus)
Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale.
To-night we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we'll sail.
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder man there'll be;
We'll show them all we've captured the monster from the (sea)
Di Di Di Di Di De Di Di
They saw the whale one morning when the weather it was fair
The men were white as ghosts, the Captain didn't care
I'll take this whale myself he said the weak can stay behind
The strong can share my glory and tonight they'll share my(wine)
Di Di Di Di Di De Di Di
The whale it came up closer it was bigger than the sky
They lowered down the longboat and they heard the captain cry
Oh Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale.
To-night we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we sail.
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder man there'll be;
We'll show them all we've captured the monster from the (sea)
Di Di Di Di Di De Di Di
The whale it came so close that it almost tipped the boat
The captain raised his spear and he rammed it down it's throat
The whale it gave a mournful cry and lifted it's great tail
And brought it down a smashing their wee boat was sat a gale
A 100 years have passed since the Captain and his men
Went below to spend their days in Davy Joneses' den
The whale it goes on living but inside it wears a scar
And if your ever near that place a voice calls from afar
Bend your backs and row me lads and take me to me whale.
To-night we'll sing and dance and tomorrow night we'll sail.
We'll sail into the harbour no prouder man there'll be;
We'll show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
Show them all we've captured the monster from the sea
