“The Sea” (la Mer) Bobby Darrin
“What will we do with a drunken sailor”
“Seven Seas of Rye”
Only one of these is - of course - a sea shanty.
Of course “Under the Sea” from the Little Mermaid
and, "Bobbing along (on the bottom of the beautiful briney sea) from Bedknobs and Broomsticks
“We all live in a Yellow Submarine” and “Octopusses Garden” by the Beatles.
Should I stop now?
“I want to Marry a LightHouse Keeper”???
And what about the original La Mer by Charles Trenet?

Blow the man down.
Banana Boat Song
Haul away Joe.
Drunken sailor
And Poll - l want to get you on a slow boat to China - was the first 45rpm records l bought with my paper-round money.
i watched a programme following a group of sea shanty singers on tour.
their concerts looked really good fun.
it’s good when people try to keep traditions alive.
can’t remember any of the songs except drunken sailor and blow the man down.

By the way, I’ve joined the Disabled Cruise Club. They were so helpful. What really surprised me is that they match P&O’s price!
