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 !
