Song of the Ginger Grouse (adapted from Song of the Puffermen!)

Here is a wee song, please sing along, it goes to the tune of the Song of the Puffermen.

Oh the French Canals for me
I don't like the wild raging sea
It would bee too horrific to cross the Pacific
Or sail across Bay of Biscay
A life on the Spanish Main
I think would drive me insane
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers
The French Canals for me.

Chorus
Oh the French Canals for me
I don't like the wild raging sea
The big foaming breakers would give me the shakers
The French Canals for me.

Aye, the French Canals for me
It's neither trop grande or trop petite
Oh it's lovely and calm when you're sauteeing yer ham
Washed down with a glass of Chablis
You can go for a ride on its banks
To loosen your muscle bound shanks
You can darn your socks while still in its locks
The French Canals for me.

Chorus

It's the French Canals for me
From sea terrors there you are free
There's no shark or whale that
would make you turn pale
Or shiver or shake at the knee
I would nae like leavin ma bones
In a locker beside Davey Jones
From Largs to Le Havre, the best trip by far (hopefully!)
The French Canals for me.

Chorus
