A Jolly Fisherman
Down the docks beside the bay
There lives a very jolly fisherman
He wears a hat and long red boots
And loves his boat ‘The Mary-Ann’
He lifts the anchor and sets sail
Each day whether rain or shine
Riding the waves out on the sea
He baits and casts his line
He whistles while he’s working
He is such a jolly chappie
He has a great big secret
That makes him very happy
The reason that he wants fish
Is because he has on board
A very special first mate
Who loves a seafood hoard
The first mates name is Stan
He has whiskers and brown fur
He meows and claws the decking
And sleeps with a noisy purr
The jolly fisherman has lots of fun
Fishing with his best friend Stan -
So have you guessed who Stan is?
He is ships cat on ‘The Mary-Ann’ !
