The Herring Song Lyrics
What do you think I made of his eyes?
Forty five puddings and forty five pies
What do you think I made of his mouth?
As many red cherries as grow in the South
What do you think I made of his tail?
The finest ship that ever set sail
What do you think I made of his belly?
A sweet little girl and her name it was Nelly
The man in the wilderness said to me
"How many strawberries grow in the sea?"
I answered him as I thought good
"As many red herring as grow in the wood"
Forty five puddings and forty five pies
As many red cherries as grow in the South
The finest ship that ever set sail
A sweet little girl and her name it was Nelly
"How many strawberries grow in the sea?"
"As many red herring as grow in the wood"
