Songs about sharks and whales. I don't know that any--other than the Jaws theme--are specifically about great whites.

I seem to remember one in the old Oak publications books called The Chivalrous Shark. I think the humour was rather arch, and I was never tempted to sing it.

There's a kids's song called Mama Shark that includes hand motions for the size of the jaws. The song The Frig the Amphritite (probably not the right spelling) has a verse about having to leave two sailors who fell overboard to the sharks and the ship was rounding Cape Horn. But it didn't mention species.

Oh and there's a song called Swim Sam which was recorded by Regal Slip.

There's also Marr-i-ed to a Mer-may-id

And the sharks they played melodeons at the bottom of the bay.

There's a Dutch one, I remember the lads busking in Rotterdam and always drawing a crowd with that one:

Ome Kobus

Ome Kobus heeft z'n linkerbeen verloren in Hawaii, in Hawaii
Een klein visje kwam hem onder 't zwemmen storen
't Was een haai, een reuzenhaai
Ver in zee, ver in zee nam die haai het been van Ome Kobus mee
Ome Kobus heeft z'n linkerbeen verloren in Hawaii, in Hawaii

Toen Ome Kobus daar zo op dat strand alleen lag in Hawaii, in Hawaii
Moest 'ie lachen toen 'ie links dat stompie been zag
Hij is taai, reuze taai
Het laat me koud zo sprak hij boud
Aanstonds koop ik weer een nieuwe poot van hout
Ome Kobus heeft z'n linkerbeen verloren in Hawaii, in Hawaii

Toen Ome Kobus daar zo op dat strand alleen lag in Hawaii, in Hawaii
Moest 'ie lachen toen 'ie links dat stompie been zag
Hij is taai, reuze taai
Het laat me koud zo sprak hij boud
Aanstonds koop ik weer een nieuwe poot van hout
Ome Kobus heeft z'n linkerbeen verloren in Hawaii, aan een haai
In Hawaii, aan een haai
In Hawaii, aan een haai

Good song there, but it takes about 20 seconds to load.

Here's my new year's resolution;

I'm trying to be greener every day
Just a little cleaner in every way
I'd like to save the gnu and kangaroo
The birds and bees, the chimpanzees
The lofty lark, the great white shark
The earthly worms, the pachyderms
And – oh yes – me and you

From The Ebeneezer.

He walked the poop with a Bucko's roll
may the sharks get his body and the devil get his soul.

Don't forget the Rhyme of the Chivalrous Shark, who will eat neither woman nor child.
