Flanders & Swann - The Sea Horse lyrics

On the morning after her bridal night The lady sea horse bolts Leaving her sea horse groom to hatch Sea fillies and sea colts While her husband tends their sea urchin brood The Sea Mare spends her days Opening hospital gala fetes at charity matinees At Charity Matinees The sea horse never leaves his young He would not if he could While his mare faced wife is out and about busily doing good Busily doing good
