 What
shall we do with the herring's head?
We'll turn it into an abundance of bread
Herring's head, abundance of bread
And all sorts of things
Chorus
Of all the fish that are in the sea
The herring's the king of the fish for me
Sing whack for the aira-li-do, whack for the aira-lee
What
shall we do with the herring's back?
We'll turn it into a fishing smack
Herring's back, fishing smack
Herring's head, abundance of bread
And all sorts of things
Chorus
What
shall we do with the herring's tail?
We'll turn it into ships and sail
Herring's tail, ships and sail
Herring's back, fishing smack
Herring's head, abundance of bread
And all sorts of things
Chorus
Herring's
belly, jams and jelly
Herring's eyes, puddings and pies
Herring's
fins, needles and pins
Herring's
scales, buckets and pails
And
any other real or imaginary body parts you can invent!
Herring's
chin, peas in a tin .... [Jacob]
