A New Song about the Sea.

By Edward Shanks

From Amberley to Storrington,

From Storrington to Amberley,

From Amberley to Washington

You cannot see or smell the sea.

But why the devil should you wish

To see the home of silly fish?

Since I prefer the earth and air,

The fish may wallow in the sea

And live the life that they prefer,

If they will leave the land to me,

So wish for each what he may wish,

The earth for me, the sea for fish.
