SEAWEED - ONE NIGHT I FELT SO COLD IN BED, I WOKE MY WIFE MARIA, AND SAID "I'M GOING TO JUMP OUT, LOVE, AND LIGHT A LITTLE FIRE", THEN IN MY NIGHTY I JUMPED OUT, QUITE 'BALMY ON THE THATCH; I FOUND THE WOOD, AND FOUND THE COAL, AND THEN I STRUCK THE MATCH - CHORUS: AND STOOD BEFORE THE FIRE, AS HAPPY AS COULD BE; SOON I FELT THE WARM ROUND MY ANATOMIE. MY SHIRT WAS ALL ALIGHT, AND I'LL FORGET-ME-NOT, FOR AS SOON AS I TOUCHED MY SEAWEED I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE HOT.
