LYRICS

Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling

Thanks to the rolling sea

Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling

Thanks to the rolling sea

Fish on the table and fish on the fire

Fried fish hanging on the tree

Everything here that your heart desires

Thanks to the rolling sea

Thanks to the rolling sea

Living is good and living is fine

We're happy as can be

We owe all this to the salty brine

Thanks to the rolling sea

Thanks to the rolling sea

We work all day but our hearts are gay

And while we work we sing

The mighty sea is good to us

And we've got everything

Abalone steaks and tuna fish cakes

Taste so heavenly

We know who we owe it to

Thanks to the rolling sea

Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling

Thanks to the rolling sea

Thanks to the rolling, rolling, rolling

Thanks to the rolling sea
