GUEST,Syd Meats ADD: Battle With the Prawns (and copyright info) (34) RE: Tune Req: Battling Prawns (and copyright info) 19 Aug 03


As Ron pointed out, the second line of the second verse should read "For they had run out of plankton because I had eaten it."

The second line of the third verse should be "With a lot of screaming children and a bottle of HP".

I'm not sure if HP sauce is known outside the British Isles, but this refers to a brand of brown sauce which might possibly be used by Captain Birdseye on his fish fingers. I can't quite imagine Captain Birdseye with a bottle of Chablis, but then again the latest averts shown in the UK for Birdseye Fish Fingers show a much younger Captain Birdseye who may well have different tastes !

For the definitive version of the lyrics please refer to
