Lyrics:
What did the deep sea say?
What did the deep sea say?
Well it moaned and groaned
And it splashed and it foamed
And it rolled on its weary way

What did the deep sea say?
What did the deep sea say?
It rolled and flowed
And it moaned and it groaned
And it rolled on its weary way

Oh captain, tell me true
Does my sailor sail with you?
No, he does not sail with me
He sleeps in the bottom of the sea

What did the deep sea say?
Hey, what did the deep sea say?
It rolled and it flowed
And it moaned and it groaned
And it stole... la la la

A beautiful rose every day
I throw on a crest of the waves
I pray that it falls
Na na na hmmm

What did the deep sea say?
What did the deep sea say?
What did the deep sea say?
I don't know...
