He rolls, huge and black; Now for spades to his back; Strip his hide, just like old india-rubber; Now it's slice, dig and boil, And down hold with his oil; Hurrah, ninety casks from his blubber; The whale-bone now stow, Home for dollars to go ; Of the rest, the sharks won't make much trouble.

Oh, there's never a game You, landsmen, can name With the sport that is known to a sailor; There's never a chase, On the land but gives place To the hunt that we know from a whaler.
