Seven Silly Sea Serpents

Seven silly sea serpents all swimming out at sea,

They swam into my harbor and I yelled, “Please play with me!”

We splished and splashed and rode Ski Doos until a half past three,

And then they said, We have to go", and slithered out to sea.

As I was walking on the beach, oh my, what did I see,

I saw those silly sea serpents, all seven did I see,

I said, “We should play in the park and we can play for free”,

So in the park we swang the swings; we’d see-saw then saw-see!

So now the silly sea serpents were friends, yes friends with me,

There’s Fred, Frank, Bill, Bert, Joe and Jay, and little Walter Lee,

These brothers, they just liked to play and had a family,

Now we could play most every day from noon ‘til half past three.

The seven silly sea serpents lived way, way out at sea,

Where Puff the Dragon got his fame in a land called Honalee,

One day my Dad and Mom and I sailed out so we could be-

A part of their Sea Serpent Day; a gallant Jamboree!

We hopped aboard a special float for Dad and Mom and me,

For we were special guests this day, they called us “honorees”,

My seven silly sea serpents all sang and yelled with glee,

And just like Puff the Dragon we’d go down in history!
