Old Sam had a squid in "an interesting condition,"
He trolled her where others were said to be found;
Imagine his surprise when this proved his demise,
As he was hauled down below the squid jiggin' ground.

Old Amos was not one to fear wind or water,
He'd sailed Boothbay Harbor where raging billows abound;
But he gave a great cry when he was shot in the eye
By a 30-ton squid on the squid jiggin' ground.
