Cape Cod Girls
Cape Cod girls don't use no combs,
Heave away, haul away!
They comb their hair with codfish bones
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus:
Heave her up, my bully, bully boys
Heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don't you make a noise
We're bound away fro Australia.
Cape Cod boys ain't got no sleds
Heave away, haul away!
They slide down hills on codfish heads.
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
Cape Cod doctors don't use pills
Heave away, haul away!
They cure their patients with codfish gills.
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
(The following verses by past and present Dogwatch members)
In old Cape Cod so I've been told
Heave away, haul away!
You turn into a codfish when you grow old
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
Cape Cod fruitcakes got no nuts
Heave away, haul away!
They're filled with chopped candied codfish guts.
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
Cape Cod farmers don't have soil
Heave away, haul away!
They plant their corn in some codfish oil.
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
Cape Cod girls get no roses
Heave away, haul away!
They get bouquets of codfish noses.
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
Cape Cod bikers don't have chains
Heave away, haul away!
They bash each other using codfish brains,
We're bound away for Australia.
Chorus
