- Great Grey Back

Your great grey back seems so peaceful in the ocean
oo-oo-oo on the James Clark Ross
Here we come a-chasin’ you and causing a commotion
look, there she blows with a hurry hurry-o
On the James Clark Ross

We sailed out of Immingham a-hoping for some fair winds
oo-oo-oo on the James Clark Ross
When we reached Ascension we were dancing with the penguins
look, there she blows with a hurry hurry-o
On the James Clark Ross

If I had my life again I’d be what Claire Waluda is
oo-oo-oo on the James Clark Ross
I’d quit the cosy pad-and-pen and be a penguin scientist
look, there she blows with a hurry hurry-o
On the James Clark Ross

Your great grey back seems to know just what the game is
oo-oo-oo on the James Clark Ross
I wish that I could talk to you, I’d ask you what your name is
look, there she blows with a hurry hurry-o
On the James Clark Ross

[Down at the bottom of the deep blue sea
Catching fishes, one, two, three.]

Your great grey back seems so peaceful in the ocean
oo-oo-oo on the James Clark Ross
Here we come a-chasin’ you and causing a commotion
look, there she blows with a hurry hurry-o
On the James Clark Ross
