[SHAUN]
While ships may sail the Sea!
[CHORUS]
While man of us is free
[SHAUN]
While heaven sends us a misty moon
[CHORUS]
Sure, why not take it as a gracious boon?
[SHAUN]
If France and Spain
have somethin' we can use
[CHORUS]
Faith, 'twould be
ungracious to refuse!
[SHAUN]

[SHAUN]

to the mist ´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´´ to the mist!

Ohhhhhhh,

and Wind and Wave! The thicker the better!
For when the sun comes out again
There's none the wiser at all!
On silk and brand; on snuff and tay
'tis divvil a penny we have to pay!
Come then!
"Caide, mille failte" Fill up and we'll drink a roon!
Tra-loo! Tra-loo!
