lyrics

I was dancing at a shindig
In some lively harbour-town
Had my eyes on lovely Julie
In her silky evening gown

Well the way she stepped and sauntered
Surely set my heart a’sail
She’s on my trail boys
She’s on my trail

So I gathered up my courage
And began to walk her way
‘Til some other gal approached me
Like a strong nor-eastern gale

Sure I knew that I was heading
To the belly of the whale
She’s on my trail boys,
She’s on my trail

Well she grabbed ahold my shoulders
Held on like a lobster claw
Very soon she had me dancing
As I tried fling her off

We were flailing ‘round the shanty
Like a thrashing salmon tail
She’s on my trail boys,
She’s on my trail

When at last the song was over
I tried hard to lose her grip
But her strength could be unrivaled
As she puckered up her lips

Yes, she planted one upon me
Though I tried my best to bail
She’s on my trail boys,
She’s on my trail

Now I’m rowing in my dory
Seeking shelter in the mist
Still she swims to me with memories
Of the moment that we kissed

Soon she’ll have me in her netting
My evasion’s bound to fail
She’s on my trail, boys
She’s on my trail
