Classic Poem

Cape Cod girls they have no combs,
Heave away! Heave away!
They comb their hair with codfish bones,
We're bound for Californiay!

Heave away, my bully, bully boys,
Heave away, and don't you make a noise.

Cape Cod boys they have no sleds,
They slide down dunes on codfish heads.

Cape Cod doctors they have no pills
They give their patients codfish gills.

Cape Cod cats they have no tails,
Heave away! Heave away!
They lost them all in sou'east gales.
We're bound for Californiay!
