Name: Edington Sea Shanty
Duration: P00H02M42S
Description: My lady Suzy's Dad built a 60' yacht in their back garden (in a landlocked county) and sailed the family to Australia having adventures on the way. Too good a story not to have a song about it. This started as a drunken laugh (rum obvs) but it got stuck in my head. I had a lot of fun rhyming! Enjoy.

lyrics

We are the Edingtons,
We sail upon, The Oceans.
We built a boat, We're glad it floats,
'Cause we're going to Australia

Adventures down to Africa,
Showed us we had stamina.
We swung from ropes, we met some blokes
On the way to Australia

Yo ho Suzy oh,
We don't know how far we'll go
We don't know when we'll be back
Please can someone feed the cats

We said goodbye to Grandmama,
Sailed all the way through Panama.
We saw some some sharks
Had fine larks
On the way to Australia

Yo ho Suzy oh,
We don't know how far we'll go
We don't know when we'll be back
The winds in our sails we'll stay on track

When we got to Polynesia
We drank rum till we got amnesia
We wore grass skirts & Tahitian shirts
On the way to Australia

Yo ho Suzy oh,
We don't know how far we'll go
We don't know when we'll be back
The winds in our sails no need to tack

All this way we've laughed at failure
Now we land in Australasia
They thought us crazed, we braved the waves
We made it to Australia

Yo ho Suzy oh,
Now they know how far we'll go
We don't know if we'll be back
Lets drink some beer & have a nap

Yo ho Suzy oh,
Now they know how far we'll go
We don't know if we'll be back
We made it to Australia
