Cape Cod Girls
Cape Cod girls don’t have no combs
Haul away, haul away!
Well they comb their hair with a codfish bone
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
So, heave ‘er up, my bully, bully boys!
Haul away, haul away
Heave ‘er up and don’t you make a noise
For we’re bound away for Australia!
Cape Cod kids don’t have no sleds
Haul away, haul away!
Well they slide down hill on a codfish head
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
Cape Cod cats don’t have no tails
Haul away, haul away
Well they lost’em all in a northeast gale
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
Cape Cod doctors don’t have no pills
Haul away, haul away!
They give their patients codfish gills
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
Cape Cod ladies don’t have no frills
Haul away, haul away!
Well they’re plain and skinny as a codfish gill
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
Cape Cod schooners don’t use no sails
Haul away, haul away!
They sail their ships with codfish tails
And we’re bound away for Australia!
(chorus)
