Cape Cod girls ain't got no combs heave away, haul away
They comb their hair with codfish bones heave away, haul away
Chorus
Heave away my bully, bully boys, heave away, haul away
Heave away my bully, bully boys,
And were bound for South Australia
Cape Cod boys ain't got no sleds. heave away , haul away
They slide down hills on codfish heads, heave away,
Haul away...CHORUS
Cape Cod doctors ain't got no pills, heave away, haul; away
They feed their patients codfish gills, heave away,
Haul away...CHORUS
Cape Cod cats ain't got no tails, heave away, haul away
They all blew off in Cape Cod gales, heave away,
Haul away...CHORUS
Cape Cod women don't bake no pies, heave away , haul away
They feed their babies on codfish eyes, heave away,
Haul away...CHORUS

He has been told that for this effort he is a remarkable man.
