Lyrics

[00:10.64] Here surrounding the island there is sea
[00:14.37] But what sea
[00:15.89] lt's always overflowing
[00:18.28] says " Yes," then“No," then "No"again.
[00:21.84] And "No,"says"Yes" in blue,
[00:24.74] in sea spray raging,
[00:27.16] says "No" and "No" again.
[00:29.93] It can't be still.
[00:31.77] It stammers "my name is sea."
[00:36.39] It slaps the rocks,
[00:37.64] and when they aren't convinced
[00:39.02] Strokes them and soaks them
[00:40.59] and smolders them with kisses.
[00:42.87] with seven green tongues of seven green dogs,
[00:45.86] Or seven green tigers, or Seven green seas
[00:48.99] Beating its chest, stammering its name.
[00:54.34] Oh, sea, this is your name.
[00:58.33] oh, comrade ocean, don't waste time
[01:01.67] or water getting so upset.
[01:04.73] Help us instead.
[01:08.02] We're meager fishermen,
[01:09.84] men from the shore.
[01:11.63] We're hungry and cold
[01:13.21] and you're our foe.
[01:14.98] Don't beat so hard, don't shout so loud.
[01:18.51] Open your green coffers.
[01:20.63] Place gifts of silver in our hands.
[01:25.71] Give us this day our daily fish.
