"I saw a snail drive a nail fye man fye
I saw a snail drive a nail, Who's the fool now
I saw a snail drive a nail from Penzance up to Hale."
Thou hast well drunken man, who's the fool now."

Penzance and Hale are both Cornish towns, I know because I've stayed in one, and passed through the other. Yes there are pirates in Penzance, they run shell shops, and assorted other tourist traps. But I did love Cornwall, and the people were so nice!
