The sea is all wet and it's very big
and so deep and uncanny.
a vessel may find itself discommoded
or be lost with no hope.
That's when someplace secret in the ocean
Snaggy gets the desperate message
dashing into action
with a baggy of contraptions.
Displaying no lack of alacrity
as he flies to their aid.
Righting a ship that's tipped,
another one frozen in ice chipped out and thawed.
Repairing a pontoon punctured by spiny urchins.
Not doing it for the fame or the glory
certainly not for the good of his health or fitness.
Fangy black and green and some say kind of stupid
but none would contest his knowledge and experience
in the realm of nautical emancipations.
Look out you're too close you're gonna fall of the edge of the sea you idiot! Oh no! Where's Snaggy? (Here he comes!)
Fangy long and black and green
and some say kind of stupid
dashing into action with a baggy of contraptions,
yeah that's Snaggy.
