We were watching a video about writing sea shanties which inspired our teacher Mrs.Gundry to get the whole class writing a song. We wrote it to fit a tune of an old sea shanty. We kept the subject of the sea and made up some verses of our own.

by LUKE and Martha.                       

CHORUS:

Haul on the bowlin’.

The captain is a­growlin

Haul on the bowlin’

The bowlin’ haul!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

1. Hoist up the sails now,

    1, 2, 3, 4!

    Hoist up the sails now,

    Let the wind blow!

    CH:

 

2. The wind is a howling,

    The crew is a growling,

    The crew is a growling,

    The wind does howl!

Scrub the wooden decks

Till they're clean and shining

Scrub the wooden decks

The wooden decks scrub!

By April

Hoist up the main sail, Sailors are a-scrubbin’

Hoist up the main sail, the main sail hoist.

 

Hoist up the main sail, The cooker is a-bakin’

Hoist up the main sail, the main sail hoist.

 

Hoist up the main sail, The capt’n givin’ orders

Hoist up the main sail, the main sail hoist.

By Oliver

Haul on the bowlin

The captain is a-growling

Haul on the bowlin

The bowlin haul

Load up the big guns the captains getting angry

Load up the big guns the big guns load

Load up the big guns the sail is a hoisting

Load up the big guns the big guns load

Scrub all the decks down

Bucket and brushes

Scrub all the decks down

They need cleaning

 

Scrub all the decks down

Hoist the anchor

Scrub all the decks down

They need cleaning
