Come all ye bold fishermen, listen to me
I'll sing you a song of the fish in the sea

Yea ho, little fish, don't cry, don't cry
Yea ho, little fish, you be a whale by and by

You go to fish school and can learn from a book
How not to get caught on the fisherman's hook

Yea ho, little fish, don't cry, don't cry
Yea ho, little fish, you be a whale by and by

Watch out, little fish, we're out after you
But you can escape away deep in the blue

Yea ho, little fish, don't cry, don't cry
Yea ho, little fish, you be a whale by and by

You just swim around the fisherman's bait
And you won't end up on the fisherman's plate

 Yea ho, little fish, don't cry, don't cry
Yea ho, little fish, you be a whale by and by
