~Lyrics~

Do something for me, boy
If I should die at sea, boy
Write a little note, boy
Set it off afloat, saying

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Village and city girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Quiet or witty girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and there for me

I think about your pale arms waving
When I see the caps upon the green
And the rocking roller-coaster ocean
I dream about you every night when Im fathoms asleep
And in my dreams
We are rocking in a similar motion

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Village and city girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Quiet or witty girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and there for me

I think about the salt sea rolling
Down in pearly tears upon your cheeks
Just like the day the harbour pulled away
I think about your warm white sheets unfolding
The more we have to drink
The more that I can think to say

Do something for me, boy
If I should die at sea, boy
Hey write a little note, boy
Set it off afloat, saying

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Village and city girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and waiting by the sea

Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Quiet or witty girls by the quayside
Bless you, bless you, all of you pretty girls
Watching and there for me

i don't suppose you have the video of this?!?!? x

[DangerYourselfCopies]

Yeah, it was on BBC iplayer, but it's been taken down now...

I got a really poor quality rip of it, but i didn't think it was worth uploading

[Dalriada35]

The genius of Andy Partridge. God bless him and all who sail in him. :-)

[Celtology]

Ok matey thanks anyway. Good of you to try. I put a request on the Jim forum (baron of suburbia) so maybe Jim will upload it if he had it. Glad ye liked the Irish song. ;)
