I have an old tape & this song is on it & through all the merrymaking can't make out a lot of the words. Some of goes as follows:

I was cook (onboard of a bark, 3 X)
That was the way I made my mark
Slinging up the hash
Many sailors eat my stew
They're all dead I'm telling you

When we're out of (bacon fat 3 x)
Then I catch a juicy rat
I know what to do
You salt the critter well
He will last for quite a spell

You should try my (lobster sauce 3X)
Nothing taste as well with horse
It's a lovely course
You should try my shark fin soup
It's the stuff to make you stoop

The rest of it, another 4 verses, about lobster tails, custards, whale blubber, beetles & water as rum & beer, I can't make out. The first 3 lines including the (3X) are to an A part melody & the last 2 line of the verse are of a different melody & timing. Has any one got any history and/or words, or anything to else to this, I've never seen or know of anyone who's heard of anything resembling this song. Thanks, Barry
