THE SEVEN SEAS ITCH

Pauly the pirate

Sailed the seven seas

Then somewhere got cursed

Soon after had fleas

They drove him crazy

All day and all night

He itched and he scratched

And cussed his weird plight

He climbed the tall mast

Where the strong winds blew

But the fleas hung on

With sticky flea glue

He went below decks

To rid the dark curse

The fleas grew stronger

His troubles got worse

When all his shipmates

Including top rank

Contracted the fleas

He walked the long plank

Fleas dashed to his head

Clung tightly to him

Then started to stroke

Cuz he couldn’t swim

The fleas multiplied

To thousands and more

Till they were enough

To pull him to shore

Though Pauly survived

And the spell did break

He gave up the sea

And stayed home to bake

For sorcery waits

On those seven seas

To inflict the worst

The curse of the fleas
