Iii

Listen in the reader

Dive, mermaids, with sharp swords And cut him through, And bring us the idols’ eyes And the red gold too. Lower the grappling hooks Good pirate men And drag him up by the tongue From his deep wet den. We will sail to the end of the world, We will nail his hide To the main mast of the moon In the evening tide.

Chorus:--This is the voice, etc.
