Seaweed shovelling song
Waterboys · Other Songs - Waterboys
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
because I'm a seaweed shovelling man
Green weed, red weed, still alive and dead weed
lying in a pile on the shore
Brown weed, pink weed, smelly kind of stink weed
who on earth could ask for more!
This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
because I'm a seaweed shovelling man
Dry weed, wet weed, ain't-been-troubled-yet weed
glinting in the morning sun
Thin weed, thick weed, slimy kind of slick weed
every bucket weighs a ton!
This is my seaweed shovelling song
I've been shovelling all day long
I've got got my seaweed shovel in hand
because I'm a seaweed shovelling
seaweed shovelling
seaweed shovelling
seaweed shovelling man!
