Jack mack, pilleys and sprats
Down in the deep blue sea
What’s the story John Dory?
Come and tell a tale for me

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm

Look look it’s a manta ray
Heading for the deep blue sea
Wind! wind! snapper on the bite
Out on the Hauraki

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm

Pipis and cockles, scallops and mussels
Down in the deep blue sea
Crayfish, gurnard, kingfish, tuna
Fish for the future you and me

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm

We fish for the future
If we wanna have a fish for tea
One for the fry pan, one for a friend
Rest give back to the deep blue sea

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
