Woke up this morning,
Thought we'd paddle our own canoe
Yeah, woke up this morning
Thought we'd paddle our own canoe
But we are Maersk shipping clerks
And we didn't know what too do

We got into Poole harbour
Of that there is no doubt
We got into Poole harbour
Of that there is no doubt
But we turned the damned things over
Lifeboat had to be called out

Along came the rescue
With its so professional crew
Along came the rescue
With its so professional crew
We all tried to board together
And we turned that over too

So we're freezing in Poole harbour
Man I feel just like a creep
So we're freezing in Poole harbour
Man I feel just like a creep
I'm a getting Hypothermia
And its only 4 feet deep

So we all end up in Hospital
Won't go sailing anymore
So we all end up in Hospital
Won't go sailing anymore
If hypothermia don't get you
Then that Asthma will for sure
