There's the Pacific
That's Terrific
There's the Adriatic, quite dramatic
The Aegean, that's tragean
The Caspian, that's almost Latvian
The Black sea it was a slack sea
The Red sea, it was ahead of me
As I rode back from the dead sea
Still alive quite luckily
Then the Atlantic, I was frantic
Sailing about in a panic
But I found my bearings
without the scarings in the Berings
But it wasn't easy and I got quite queasy
As I joined the Chukchi
The Strait was laced
With all I've faced
And ever hope to after
But chuckling laughter
Overcame me
As I headed North West towards Alaska
Yes it was a task Sir
I ask yer
Sailing the Beaufort scale
I hit every kind of gale
And tried to master
My ship from certain disaster
Crossed the map
The lap of land
They call The North Pole
Didn't see a soul
But thought I'd stay in control
As I circled the Arctic Ocean
There was a polar bear or two
In the Siberian vicinity
And a cuttlefish who knew
What it all meant to me
I put on the kettle
And tested my mettle
As I passed through Kara and Berrents
Whoever said there were only seven seas?
They didn't make any sense
I could have bet my bottom dollar
That that Norwegian with the high collar
Was Father Christmas
Or just getting pissed as
A Svalbardi President Lincoln
After that I took a break in Greenland
And found it as green as grain of sand
But for all that I loved the diversity
Of all the titanic icebergs adversity
They made me glad I wasn't at university
Though of course I am sad at that perversity
Still I journeyed on to the Labrador Sea
It was a well behaved doggie
It barked and lapped
But I patted its back
And it fetched its tide there and slack
And I felt like a stick a drift
As I was lassoed by the Sargasso
Toe to toe, I heave hoed
With every rope in the rigging
And I was jigged without much hope
Down onto the Caribbean
The warm was wind
And the wind was warm
And the seaweed full of eels
And it made me feel
Head over heels
As I felt the tropic of Cancer
A thunder and a blowing storm
As night time was the right time
To drink rum and watch the wild Palms sway
I lay on my back in the sand
And visited bars
And lost nearly every hand
Of poker, but I played on
And penniless returned to sea
The truth hit me near Chile
That I'd scoffed a lot of chocolate
In the sea of Scotia
And it was heating up inside me
I need to cool off
So I molokoved down for a cocktail
In the Antarctic circle
