lyrics:
Cape Cod girls ain't got no combs
heave away, haul away

They comb their hair with codfish bones
Bound away for australia

Chorus:
So, Heave her up my bully, bully boys,
heave away, haul away
Heave her up and don’t you make a noise
we’re bound away for Australia

Cape Cod boys ain't got no sleds
heave away , haul away
They slide down the dunes on codfish heads
Bound away for australia

Cape Cod doctors ain't got no pills,
heave away, haul away
They feed their patients codfish gills
bound away for australia

Cape Cod cats ain't got no tails,
heave away, haul away
They lost them all in northeast gales
bound away for australia
