The Fishwife Song Lyrics

I'm in love with a fishwife

She's ragged and rude

She smoked all my stuff, drank all my wine

She ate all my food

I gave her a baby

He looked just like me

But off the coast of Cape Agulhas

She threw him out into the sea

Now down at the bottom

He tossed and he turned

There was no sand to keep him warm

And the black rocks they burned

They came to his bleeding

Tentacle long

And then they floated up towards

Her celebratory song

And she sang

Come, I'll feed you all my babies

Come, feed on me

Come, take me down to heaven

With a deep breath, a swelling in my sea

Now I still love my fishwife

All ragged and rude

She uses her body

As octopus food

She wants more babies

I keep her satisfied

But when she takes that dinghy out

I turn into seaweed inside

Oooh mama, drippin' your dress

The tentacle, he wanna suck on your breast

He got a taste for your flesh from the heart in the chest of your baby

Oooh mama, running down your leg

This loving man, I would've fallen out of bed

But you only care for the tentacle flair of the ocean

Oooh baby, I see you there

With tangles in your pubic hair

No remorse, no despair, just elation at the back of your blank stare

Oooh mama, after midnight

You take to the sea with my baby child

You come home all alone and you tell me what a wonderful time

(I had a really good time)

You come home all alone and I ask you what you did with my child

(What child?)

You come home all alone with a shredded dress and a smile

(Don't you find me sexy in a shredded dress and a smile)
