The Halibut Song
by Richard Digance
Sally the sole lived in the sea
Oh, what a lonely soul was she
She loved a halibut known as Hally -
But Hally wasn't pally with poor old Sally :-(
"I love you so," said Sally,
But Halibut wasn't impressed.
"You poor old soul, what's wrong?" said the whale -
So Sally the sole confessed:
"I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.
I try and I try, but his one reply
Is "There's plenty more fish in the sea!"
I'd let him share my seaweed,
And bring him worms for tea.
I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.


One day she met with a passing cod
Who could best be described as an arrogant ... fish ...
He said "Come back to my weed and play!"
Sally didn't dally, she said "OK."
"Who needs Hally," thought Sally,
"For sure as a little crab nips,
I'd rather see him in a cat food tin,
Or sitting on a plate with chips."
"I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.
I try and I try, but his one reply
Is "There's plenty more fish in the sea!"
I'd let him share my seaweed,
And bring him worms for tea.
I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.


Now, Sally thought Halibut wasn't aware -
Hally pretended that he did not care.
He gave a big fat worm to the sniggering cod -
The worm was at the end of a fisherman's rod!
Now, Hally and Sally decided to marry,
And things took a natural course.
And as for the cod, he
Got sliced through the body -
Now he swims in parsley sauce!
"I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.
I try and I try, but his one reply
Is "There's plenty more fish in the sea!"
I'd let him share my seaweed,
And bring him worms for tea.
I'm in love with Hally, but
Hally doesn't love me.
