From: GUEST,Janmal Can helpful person supply a title or first line for the following lyrics which I dimly remember: We're tired of it all, The strange (?) ports of call The ? we've seen And the roads we've been, But only friendly gales, Will fill up our sails We're picking up the Lizard in the morning. Many thanks in advance. |

From: GUEST,Strupag We've been down the coast of Spain round the Horn and back again We're picking up the Lizard in the morning we've seen China and Peru Labrador and Java too We're picking up the Lizard in the morning Chorus We're tired of it all the Queer ports we call the queer ports we've seen and the roads we've been and the only friendly gale that will fill up our sail we're picking up the Lizard in the morning I'm not so sure of the words but it was something like the above There are more verses but lost in the haze For those who are not seafarers "The Lizard" refers to Lizard Head |
