Oary Dory get your dory, there are herring in the bay
Oary Dory, get your dory, there are herring in the bay
For the herring are like silver shining in the sea
And all that shining silver is there for you and me.

Oary Dory, get your dory, there are herring in the bay
Oary Dory, get your dory, for the herring swim away
For the Herring like the white gull want to live and not to die
And the Herring, like the white gull, have wings on which to fly

Oary Dory got his dory and he went out on the bay
Oary Dory got his dory but the herring'd gone away
For there was oil upon the waters and tankers at the docks
And the herring like the white gull lay dead upon the rocks.
