The Herring!

The herring is the king of the sea
The herring is the fish for me
The herring is the king of the sea
Sing fol the do or die

Oh what'll we do with the herring's eyes?
We'll make them all into puddings and pies
We'll make them all into puddings and pies
And all sorts of things!
Herring's eyes, puddings and pies
And all sorts of things!

The herring is the king of the sea …

Oh what'll we do with the herring's heads?
We'll make them all into loaves of bread
We'll make them all into loaves of bread
And all sorts of things!
Herring's heads, loaves of bread
Herring's eyes, puddings and pies
And all sorts of things!

Oh what'll we do with the herring's bellies
We'll make them all into lassies and nellies…

Oh what'll we do with the herring's backs?
We'll make them all into laddies and jacks…

Oh what'll we do with the herring's fins?
We'll make them all into needles and pins…

Oh what'll we do with the herring's tail?
We'll make it a ship with a beautiful sail
We'll make it a ship with a beautiful sail
And all sorts of things!
Herring's tails, ships with sails
Herring's fins, needles and pins
Herring's backs, laddies and jacks
Herring's bellies, lassies and nellies
Herring's heads, loaves of bread
Herring's eyes, puddings and pies
And all sorts of things!
