Jimmy Crowley sings Fungi the Dolphin

Partial capture of a 'Fungi the Dolphin' sung in the Anchor Bar, Courtmacsherry. Written and performed by Jimmy Crowley!

FUNGI THE DOLPHIN
In a salty cave beneath the wave,
King Neptune made his plan.
He felt so bad as things were bad
For children on dry land,
He called his dolphins around his throne
Awash in the briney sea;
He picked out one with his old pring-pong,
You'll do nicely, said he.

Chorus
They call him Fungi, Fungi,
The darling of the deep
And if you go to Dingle town
You'll see him too.
He's awful funny, funny
The way he turns his tummy
With eyes beguiling bright for me and you.

King Neptune shed a salty tear;
My heart is sad, said he,
For boys and girls around the world
Watch far too much TV,
They never laugh or smile no more
The way they used to do,
So, Fungi, téir go Poll a' Dáimh,
Is cur gliondar ar an slua!

Chorus

Ar maidin álainn, ghrianmhar,
Do shroich sé béal a' chuain,
Bhí bád fen' am ag teach i dtír,
Ba dheas é crut na huaine,
'Sea dúirt an captaen ós ard,
Go dteastaigh uaidh gal:
Mo léir ! Nár ghoid an delphín dubh
An duidín as a bhéal!

Chorus

So, every day on Dingle Bay
The boats to see him go,
Lán de pháistí aeracha
Fé dhraíocht na mara móire,
He sees the children from afar
And winks his eyes with glee;
Ní fada anois go ndéanfar "swish",
Suas leat san aer, Fungi!
