Johnny The Fish

When Johnny was a schoolboy you could find him down at the quay With his fishing rod and sinkers and a flask of Tetley tea He acquired a new name from his friends and family Now he's called Johnny the fish and he's heading home for tea Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish When Johnny was sixteen he sailed off to sea To fish for cod and herring across the Great North Sea He sailed out from the low lights as the mist rolled up the Tyne Out to open waters up above the bright stars shine Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish When Johnny was Captain he sailed off with his nine man crew Up towards Scandinavia where huge waves and strong winds blew Well they never made it back home they were all lost at sea And now they dance in Fiddlers Green and Johnny's soul is free Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish Johnny the fish
