0:00:38 > 0:00:43# Let's throw up a tale for 'ee

0:00:43 > 0:00:46# A dream that just couldn't be

0:00:46 > 0:00:51# About a young Kernow boy who shouted, "Ahoy!"

0:00:51 > 0:00:55# And packed up his trunks for the seas

0:00:55 > 0:00:59# But they called him Seasick Billy, oi, oi

0:00:59 > 0:01:03# They called him Seasick Billy, oi, oi

0:01:03 > 0:01:05# Cos when the sails unfurled

0:01:05 > 0:01:07# Poor Billy, he hurled

0:01:07 > 0:01:10# That's why they called him Seasick Billy

0:01:11 > 0:01:15# But the sailing he determined to do

0:01:15 > 0:01:19# So he stuck to his dream strong as glue

0:01:19 > 0:01:22# But as the vessel it tumbled

0:01:22 > 0:01:24# His belly was rumbled

0:01:24 > 0:01:28# And he covered the decks with his spew, ah-ha!

0:01:28 > 0:01:32# And they called him Seasick Billy

0:01:32 > 0:01:36# They called him Seasick Billy, ah-ha!

0:01:36 > 0:01:38# Cos when the sails unfurled

0:01:38 > 0:01:40# Poor Billy, he hurled

0:01:40 > 0:01:44# That's why they called him Seasick Billy

0:01:44 > 0:01:48# Now the skipper was a rare Frenchman who cared, oui, oui

0:01:48 > 0:01:52# He pitied the boy's matted hair

0:01:52 > 0:01:56# But constantly he blew on the rest of the crew

0:01:56 > 0:02:00# The moment the weather weren't fair

0:02:01 > 0:02:05# So the captain he had it all planned

0:02:05 > 0:02:09# To drop off the lad on dry land

0:02:09 > 0:02:11# And as he packed up his trunks

0:02:11 > 0:02:13# Billy cried and blew chunks

0:02:13 > 0:02:17# And they bade him farewell on the sand

0:02:17 > 0:02:21# And they called him Seasick Billy

0:02:21 > 0:02:25# They called him Seasick Billy

0:02:25 > 0:02:27# Cos when the sails unfurled

0:02:27 > 0:02:29# Poor Billy, he hurled

0:02:29 > 0:02:34# So they called him Seasick Billy

0:02:34 > 0:02:38# Now Billy, he had no rebuke

0:02:38 > 0:02:42# For sailors can't be covered in puke

0:02:42 > 0:02:44# His reputation to chunder

0:02:44 > 0:02:46# Would not send him under

0:02:46 > 0:02:49# And he saved up enough for a lute

0:02:50 > 0:02:54# Then he thought of his time on the boat

0:02:54 > 0:02:58# And he added his story to note

0:02:58 > 0:03:01# To his tales of vomit

0:03:01 > 0:03:02# He put music upon it

0:03:02 > 0:03:06# Now he does something else with his throat

0:03:06 > 0:03:11# And they still call him Seasick Billy, ah-ha!

0:03:11 > 0:03:15# They still call him Seasick Billy, ah-ha!
