Stuck At Sea

Out on the channel once t’was bad
With gusts and gales so strong
That on a ferry we got stuck
For ten or twelve hours long

To taxi up and down the coast
From Calais to Dieppe
The waves were high as high can be
And decks just so wind swept

With rain that lashed and battered
And lightning that was bad
And thunder that just pounded
To make the children sad

For all the ports were closed to ships
And none could stop and dock
So left to rock on the rough sea
We saw it round the clock!
