Somebody has to do it, BUT! let's be original, no lyrics, unless you can speak whatever they speak in Iceland:

EDIT: Ahh what the hell, you deserve one you can sing along, no clue where to get the lyrics though:

SPANISH LADIES
(The Yankee Version - Adapted by Roger Chartier)

Chorus:
Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies
Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain
For we've received orders to sail to Boston
And perhaps we shall never more see you again.


We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee sailors
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea
Till we strike soundings in the harbor of Boston
Nantucket to home is just a few leagues

Chorus

We hove our ship to with the wind at the sou'west boys
We hove our ship to for to take soundings clear
In fifty five fathoms with a fine sandy bottom
We filled main tops'l up channel did steer

Chorus

We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee sailors
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea
Till we strike soundings in the harbor of Boston
Great Point to home is just a few leagues

Chorus

The first land we made was a place called Nantucket
Martha's Vinyard, Woods Hole then down Buzzards Bay
We sailed then by Marion, Mattapoisett, and Fairhaven
Then bore straight away for Boston, hooray

Chorus

We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee sailors
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea
Till we strike soundings in the harbor of Boston
The Vinyard to home is just a few leagues

Chorus

Now the Captain called out for our grand ship to anchor
We clewed up our tops'ls stuck out tacks and sheets
We stood by our stoppers, we brailed in our spankers
And anchored ahead of the noblest of fleets

Chorus

We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee sailors
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea
Till we strike soundings in the harbor of Boston
Woods Hole to home is just a few leagues

Chorus

Let every man here drink up his full bumper,
Let every man here drink up his full bowl
And let us be jolly and drown melancholy
And drink a health to each jovial and true hearted soul

Chorus

We'll rant and we'll roar like true Yankee sailors
We'll rant and we'll rave across the salt sea
Till we strike soundings in the harbor of Boston
West Island to home is just a few leagues.

Chorus

I can't hear this song without thinking of the movie Jaws. "We need a bigger boat!" ;)

Here's the companion song to that one:

(Lyrics by Irving King)
Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
And it's gone right to my head.
Where-ever I may roam,
O’r land or sea or foam.
You can always hear me singin’ this song,
Show me the way to go home!

Dedicated to those steadfast watchmen who man their posts despite the roughest seas:

Sung to the tune of "My Bonnie lies over the Ocean"

My breakfast lies over the ocean...

My breakfast lies over the ocean
My dinner lies over the sea,
My stomach is in a commotion,
Don't mention my supper to me.

CHORUS
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my bucket to me, to me . . .

I really felt rotten this morning,
They tell me I really looked pale,
My stomach gave adequate warning,
To lean far out over the rail.

The sound of a stomach in motion,
A murmuring noise inside me,
I looked down and there on the water,
Was breakfast and dinner and tea.

:88)

"Jaws" was exactly the movie I was thinking of when I kept "hearing" it in my head over and over again......
